mmbtv: Hugh Howey -- Wool, Shift, and Dust

Hugh Howey is a self-publishing phenomenon who has achieved tremendous success with the Silo Saga.  According to a recent review of Hugh Howey discussing Wool and the Silo Saga:
The story, unadvertised and spread only by word of mouth, was so popular that Howey wrote four more stories and novellas that combined, would become Wool. The first story introduces us to the silo and its hierarchy. The second and third stories involve the search for Sheriff Holston's replacement by the Mayor and her deputy. The search takes them all of the way down into the bowels of the silo where the Mechanicals do their work keeping the lights on and the water flowing. At the very bottom they find Juliette who is recruited to help police the silo.
Wool is only the first of three novels in the Silo Saga. The second one, Shift, introduces us to the origins of the silo and the final one, Dust, wraps up the series. I had a few minor quibbles with some of the plotting, but overall enjoyed the trilogy.
