Leah is a picker. It’s her job to sift through the refuse and waste of the silo and sort it for recycling. On her own time, Leah loves to make homemade paper and she lives to write stories. She just happens to be living in an underground silo full of mysteries and questions, in a dystopian world that has been destroyed by mankind… and the two things she loves to do most are both illegal. REFUSE is a short story of about 10k words (about 60 pages) that takes place in the world of Hugh Howey’s bestselling WOOL saga. It is the first of a three part series that will make up The Silo Archipelago. The completed The Silo Archipelago omnibus edition is available in one single volume, both as an e-book, and in a print edition. Written with Hugh’s permission, Refuse examines the issues of control, tyranny, and censorship through the lens of history. Throughout time, dissident writers have used paper and words as weapons of war against both governments and really bad ideas. REFUSE, in the spirit of A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch and The Gulag Archipelago, examines what would happen if there were literary dissidents in the silos of Hugh Howey’s WOOL. The entire The Silo Archipelago series has now been combined into a single Omnibus edition, here: amzn.to/11kDzml “Bunker’s onto something here, I think. He’s found a niche that remains unexplored in the silo, both in Howey’s silos and in the other fan-fiction stories that have followed—he’s zooming in, nice and tight, on the hearts and minds of the overlooked authors of the uprisings. The picker community that he’s created—that is, the ranks of people who recycle the silo’s trash, and from it pluck paper material to write their manifestos on—is a fascinating place, dark but full of unfettered hope. REFUSE is a killer first entry in a series that I can’t wait to follow further.” The Silo Archipelago is a bestselling serialized short novel, set in the world of Hugh Howey’s WOOL (by Mr. Howey’s permission,) and originally written and released in three parts. The three parts have now been combined into a single print (and e-book) omnibus version entitled THE SILO ARCHIPELAGO which is now available

In a future less than fifty years away, the world is still as we know it. Time continues to tick by. The truth is that it is ticking away. A powerful few know what lies ahead. They are preparing for it. They are trying to protect us. They are setting us on a path from which we can never return

Inspired by Hugh Howey’s world of Wool, “The Last Prayer” features… …A Different Silo, A Different Threat. In the post-apocalypse, society continues in underground silos, kept safe from the toxic world above by a simple hatch door and a strict set of rules. For generations, an oligarchy of priests and politicians preserved their standing while the common workers lived in ignorance. When a young girl starts speaking of heaven as if it were just outside, the rigid caste system begins to crack. Sides are quickly drawn. The only thing preventing a violent upheaval is an old priest’s confession and the child’s last prayer. But will such simple faith be enough to save them all?

In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platform that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate. In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event. At almost the same moment in humanity’s broad history, mankind had discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened. “These books by Hugh Howey absolutely define page-turner! ‘First Shift’ is part 6 in the Silo Series, a prequel to Wool 1-5.”
