The next Hunger Games". (The Sunday Times). "Well written, tense, and immensely satisfying, Wool will be considered a classic for many years in the future". (Wired). "Thrilling, thought-provoking and memorable ...one of dystopian fiction's masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World". (Daily Express). "Howey's Wool is an epic feat of imagination.

In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo. Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies. To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't.

Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last.
