Silo Submerged (The Runner, The Diver, The Watcher) by W.J. Davies









From Goodreads

In the depths of Silo 35, water is pouring in at an unstoppable rate. Ace and a team of Divers are doing the best they can to avert this disaster, but it may not be enough.

When Ace proposes another, more drastic way of saving the silo's population, he is banished for his sin of toxic words. What happens during and after his cleaning is unprecedented and will greatly affect the future of the silos.

Originally published in three parts (The Runner, The Diver, and The Watcher), Silo Submerged is a 75,000 word novel that takes the reader on a very personal journey through the vivid world Hugh Howey created with his Silo Saga (WOOL, SHIFT and DUST). This series was published with the full support of Mr. Howey and has gone on to sell over 15,000 copies.

My thoughts

I grabbed a copy of this via Kindle Unlimited.  This is a series of three short dystopian stories in a trilogy all in one book.  This trilogy is very similar in ways to the world that Hugh Howey created in his Silo series and was published with the full support of him.

I read this book back in 2023, but my life didn't allow me to write the review of it at the time.  I found this a thought provoking series of stories and it was right up my street as the dystopian genre is one that I do enjoy.  It was a good edition to the dystopian genre set around the world that Hugh Howey created.

Can Ace and his team of Divers save the future of Silo 35 as it is beginning to fill with water and the disaster that this may cause will possibly see the end of the inhabitants of the Silo or will they fail at every turn?  Ace has some ideas that may help, but can he be believed and allowed to do what he proposes.  Not everyone will be behind him and may have other ideas themselves that may put his life at risk.
