Praise for this book

"With Wool Hugh Howey has created a new science fiction classic." - Ernest Cline

"The best science-fiction stories are like tiny seeds that take root and blossom in the reader's imagination. Hugh Howey presents an entire garden of post-apocalyptic wonder, with weeds and predators, tended by the secret caretakers of a destroyed world. Page-turning sci-fi at its finest." - Jamie Ford

"In Wool, Hugh Howey delivers the key elements of great science fiction: an authentic and detailed future-world; realistic, relatable characters to live in it; and a taut, thoughtful story. Howey's supple, muscular writing is the icing on the cake." - Jonathan Hayes

"Wool is incredible. This is the best science fiction series I've read in years. Not since A Canticle for Leibowitz have I been so utterly and completely enthralled." - Douglas Preston

"Wool is frightening, fascinating, and addictive. In one word, terrific." - Kathy Reichs

"Exhilarating, intense, addictive." - S J Watson
