What this book is about
The third volume of Howey's Silo trilogy resolves the questions set up by Wool and Shift: who built the silos, why, and what the outside world has actually become. Juliette leads the survivors of her silo while Donald, in the past-thread from Shift, uncovers the full scope of what was planned. The ending is among the most discussed in science fiction's recent post-apocalyptic tradition.
