Publisher's summary

“Hugh’s imaginative worlds and tales within them never fail to entertain!”

—Andy Weir, New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary

The first original novel from author Hugh Howey in six years, Across the Sand takes us back to the world of Sand, to a far future many generations after a disaster has destroyed civilization as we know it, where four siblings struggle to build their futures amid the harsh wastes of endless desert.

The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes, a land of howling wind and infernal sand.

In this barren home, siblings Conner, Rob, Palmer and Violet daily carve out a future. They live in the shadow of their father and oldest sister, Vic, two of the greatest sand divers ever to comb the desert’s depths. But these branches of their family tree are long gone, disappeared into the wastes beyond, leaving the younger siblings scratching in the dust, hopeful for a better life.

On the other side of No Man’s Land, Anya was born beside the abundant mines knowing her prospects would be to marry, have a family, and work in ore, in service to the Empire of the East. But when an atomic bomb delivered by a stranger destroys most of her town—murdering all her friends and community—she follows her father to a strange land of dunes to bring vengeance to their enemies.

Waiting on the end

Hope Howey finishes this political tale of a small band of survivors trying to believe in each other as they organize against hate and blind greed. Waiting for more please.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

2nd in series was really good! Kept my attention thru every chapter. Great story and imagination. Narration was extremely good. Can’t wait til next audible book in 5 Pat series.

SO Good

Great book, fantastic story. One of the best narrators I’ve come across yet - and I’m a (self-appointed) expert on the matter.

Very Good

I enjoyed the Wool books but hadn’t seen anything else that interested me until this book. The story and narration were great. I hope i dont have to wait years for another one.

hoping this is a trilogy

Sand was better than all my expectations and Across the Sand solidified this as a world i NEED to know more of.

what a gift

I didn't think there would be a sequel to Sand, what WOW!! so excited to dive back into this world and continue adventures with these characters. Rob's my favorite. such an amazing listen.

For stars simply because expect so much from Howey

A very good book. Entertaining. But expect so much from Howey that not giving 5 since his other works are 10 stars out of 5.

sand survived

loved this book. excellent wrap up to Sand. Even better than the Wool books. amazing detail and great world building.

This is a good listen!

This is one of the first times I have liked a second book as much as the first. I love the way the writer puts you there and also makes you feel like you know the characters really well and can picture them in your mind. I hope there is a third book!

I couldn’t stop listening the storyline kept me glued

When will there be a sequel to this book series. It leaves me wanting more. There are too many unanswered questions!
