The Silo Saga, Book 2

By: Hugh Howey

Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini

Watch Silo, the Apple TV+ series based on the bestselling Silo Saga!

The second volume in the New York Times bestselling Silo series. Hugh Howey goes back to show the first days of the Silo, and the beginning of the end.

In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platforms that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate.

In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event.

At almost the same moment in humanity’s broad history, mankind discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened.

Loving this series

This book worked its way up to the end of the first. Really enjoying it

Thrilling

Fantastic prequel serves as the perfect second book in a well written series. You’ll have a hard time pausing this one between listens. Great narration.

Great book great reading

Great story great narration. Just as good as the first, looking forward to the third.

Prequel

A necessary prequel to the series that goes back to who built the SILO's and why. Howey makes his characters feel very real and you're rooting for them the whole time. You must read this book to make sense of book 3 as the characters continue on in the next book.

Great story and series

This a prequel to the first book in the series. It shines light into this madness
