Charlotte eventually meets up with Juliette and crew just as they discover clean air, green grass, and a stockpile of supplies. He convinces Charlotte to escape outside while he executes his plan. In Silo 1, Donald and Charlotte recruit a night guard to their cause and Donald plots to blow up the silo, thus eliminating the eventual destruction of all silos but 1.
The Silo 17 residents head outside in modified cleaning suits. Her theory is supported by Donald and Charlotte's brief view of a colorful world via drone. She theorizes that the air further away from the silos will be fine. Juliette figures out that the poison in the air is actually coming from the supposed argon sent out with cleaners. In the end, they do plan an escape to the outside. There simply is not a way to sustain that many people with so few supplies. Suddenly, the bright future for the joined silos becomes a race to figure out a way out. I simply could not believe that Howey had actually killed the thousands residing there, including Lukas. The moment that Silo 18 was exterminated was easily the most shocking moment of the book for me. Juliette and few hundred people escape through the tunnel to Silo 17.
The man who brought down the world finds out some of what's happening in Silo 18 and makes the decision to shut it down. Meanwhile, in Silo 1, Donald and Charlotte continue their covert operation and are, unsurprisingly, found out when Thurman makes a reappearance. While Mechanical workers dig, she heads outside to take some air and soil samples. She immediately gets it going in the direction of Silo 17 to rescue Solo and kids. To give a brief overview (careful, here's where the spoilers are!), Juliette opens the story by finding that elusive digging machine in Silo 18. With 50 or 60 pages left, I still had no idea how he would close out the trilogy. And yet, he also gave moments where I was sure the story could not end for ages yet. I simply could not understand how he had hundreds of pages left. There were quite a few moments in Dust when Howey had me convinced the story had to be coming to a climax. The story in Dust moves consistently between Silos 18, 17, and 1 as the isolated world get closer and closer to converging. The story picks up at the simultaneous ends of Wool and Shift. What a thoughtful author, am I right?ĭespite having finished Shift not even two weeks previously, I did struggle getting into the beginning of Dust. Thanks for the awesome birthday present, Hugh Howey. In a perfectly timed coincidence, the final book, Dust, was released on my birthday. I finished Shiftat the start of this month. After reading Woolin June at a coworker's suggestion, I was hooked.
It's no secret that I've become obsessed with Hugh Howey's Silo trilogy this summer.
