Okay, so this book is interesting, but unlike the silo series its not very cohesive and there doesn't seem to be a really good over all plotline at all. Each short story has something interesting to it, but nothing that makes it a really good connection to the others. Especially the between Rocky's story and Scarlets, it makes it feel like
you are missing something really big like a full chapter or three. The Rocky story is really hard to figure out if this is simply the MC losing his mind or if he's a real thing.... its weirdly morbid in strange moments as well. I don't know, I think I'm just really glad this wasn't the first book of Howey's that I picked up because it's likely I wouldn't read any others with how this one was written. ( )

This reads in a similar manner to Project Hail Mary, with a different storyline but a decent amount of humour, about a sole person living in a beacon in outer space and their various encounters. As an audiobook this one was particularly well read. ( )

This is quite a departure from the Shift series due to characters and storyline that demonstrate far more humanity, quirks along with a dash of comedy. A pet rock, alien dog and even a love interest add to the sci-fi story that's fun, surprising and very enjoyable. It's a quick read that's highly recommended if you're a fan of Hugy's books. ( )
