First Shift: Legacy

Interesting, but did not grab me like the first series.

Short Review: this is another engaging story from Hugh Howey. It is the beginning of a trilogy that gives the back story to Wool. Howey still is writing punchy prose even when he has filled out the pages to over 200 per volume instead of the shorter books of the early Wool series.

The setting and time line doesn't completely make sense, but the problems are small enough that they are not too distracting. Still something that is easily readable in a day or two.

my full review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/first-shift-legacy/

I usually don't like it when an author goes back and tells me more of the story ‘before-hand'. But in this case, I really enjoyed it.
The author's take on how the world ends in this book is different from any other storyline I've read, and I think this one is totally plausible!
Talk about the creepiest evil ever! I can cut off Zombie's heads, I can try to shelter myself from natural disaster type world-endings, but where can you run to get away from something that's invisible to the human eye!?!? How's that for a dilemma?
Anyways, I think it's safe to say Hugh Howey is now one of my favorite authors, and I am going to try to wait until spring to get the next 2 books in the series so I can save a little money. Keyword: try.

Kinda liked Wool better, but this is definitely worth reading afterwards.
