Sunday Shorts is a new meme started by the CabinGoddess.com. The rules are easy, a short story, an anthology of short stories, a novella, or a quick weekend read that is also short on your wallet!
I missed last week but I’m back this week with a book that is of great interest to me. I don’t recall how I heard about it originally but it has grabbed my interest in a big way. I want it super bad so way up there on my must get and must read list.
The Wool omnibus is the one I’m really after though you can get the first story in the series for free right now. Its about 56 pages, the omnibus is 550 pages so much longer. The omnibus is running at $5.99 on amazon and the only reason I haven’t purchased it yet is that author Hugh Howey is writing more for the series. I hate the idea of buying it falling in love and then having to wait for the rest so I’m going to be tough and hold out. Til then ohhhhh droolfest.
This Omnibus Edition collects the five Wool books into a single volume. It is for those who arrived late to the party and who wish to save a dollar or two while picking up the same stories in a single package.
The first Wool story was released as a standalone short in July of 2011. Due to reviewer demand, the rest of the story was released over the next six months. My thanks go out to those reviewers who clamored for more. Without you, none of this would exist. Your demand created this as much as I did.
This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside.
