![]() I was impressed that Wool had a strong female protagonist, but in Dust another female protagonist is brought in that acts no different than Juliette. Even Solo, the most unique character due to his circumstances, acted just like everyone else. I never at once felt that any of the characters had any specific qualities or traits attached to them. The dialogue is well written and realistic, but the words that a character says could just as well be said by any other character. One thing that's bothered me not just about this novel but the series as a whole is the lack of character diversity. ![]() Throughout the whole novel I felt an overwhelming sense of dread, thinking there'd be no way there would be a happy conclusion. The story continues seamlessly from where SHIFT and WOOL left off and contains many tense moments that glue your eyes to the page. It's as tremendously well-written as the previous books when it comes to storytelling. Howey once again does a great job of immersing you in the underground world of the silo and its inhabitants, making their struggles seem so real and periodically making me feel claustrophobic. This review is mostly spoiler-free, and spoilers will be tagged/hidden. This one, however, left me a bit disappointed. I've recommended it to numerous friends and have a signed copy of it on my bookshelf. The Wool Omnibus was one of my favorite books of all time. Giving the finale to the Silo series a three star rating was not easy, as I've rated the previous books much higher. ![]() ![]() Khaw employs densely poetic prose to capture betrayal, rage, injury, and death, but is less invested in conjuring an image of the future, with abundant anachronisms and inconsistencies. This isn’t a precision-built world: limits and definitions don’t meaningfully exist, and connections are often fragmentary. Their opponents are the Minds, assorted AIs of nautilus-chambered complexity targeting Dimmuborgir for their own purpose-though what this may be is slow to coalesce. Rita’s crew call themselves the Dirty Dozen, though at the outset it’s just Rita and right-hand Maya, coaxing former colleague Ayane to listen to their pitch with a combination of four-letter epithets and a crushed larynx. ![]() Puppet master Rita rounds up her infinitely reanimated clone/cyborg minions for one last caper: a hit on the planet Dimmuborgir, “a chunk of rock” shrouded in rumors that make it the obsession of wetware and circuitry entities alike. ![]() ![]() Khaw ( The Last Supper Before Ragnarok) delivers a gore-drenched, sci-fi take on Ocean’s Eleven set in a Gibsonesque cyberverse. ![]() ![]() We send all items within 24h of received payment received on a working day.

In the third video, the President added that he will not personally wear a mask. In the second, the President additionally emphasized that wearing a mask is optional. In the first video, the President simply recited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. We report the results from a survey experiment in which subjects were exposed to one of three video messages from President Trump, and then indicated their preference for wearing a mask.

Simone now has more at stake than just her life. Especially when there's feeding involved. Only, it's never been that simple with Simone and Lucien, and all too soon the lines between pretend and real get very blurry. Lucien agrees to enter himself as a master-looking-for-a-mate in the Selection so they can pretend to fall for each other. Okay, yeah, he's a snarly, powerful, frustratingly perfect master himself, but at least she knows where she stands. Lucky for her, she still has one ally up her sleeve: Lucien. A master who is looking for a mate and wants Simone to participate in the Selection to prove her worth. Turns out that the last time she was there, her teeny tiny mistake sent out an energy burst that called to an ancient powerful master. Then a summons back to Valdor-the vampire world- is dropped in her lap. She'd been there, done that, and had the near death experience to show for her time. Simone, of the Torma shifters, thought she was finished with the world of supernaturals that existed outside of Earth. Best read after Deserted for storyline continuity.
