I'm the author of WOOL, a top 5 science fiction book on Amazon. I also wrote the Molly Fyde saga, a tale of a teenager from the 25th century who is repeatedly told that girls can't do certain things -- and then does them anyway.
A theme in my books is the celebration of overcoming odds and of not allowing the cruelty of the universe to change who you are in the process. Most of them are classified as science fiction, since they often take place in the future, but if you love great stories and memorable characters, you'll dig what you find here. I promise.
Thousands of them have lived underground. They've lived there so long, there are only legends about people living anywhere else. Such a life requires rules. Strict rules. There are things that must not be discussed. Like going outside. Never mention you might like going outside.
Or you'll get what you wish for.
What the press is saying:
Boing Boing's Official Review: "This story is terrific. I was completely immersed, watching Howey slowly paint a picture of a society gone wrong through the eyes and discovery of some truly compelling characters."
Wired.com's Official GeekDad Review: "Howey is among a growing list of authors who are making successful careers of publishing without the assistance of agents and traditional publishing houses. The traditional argument has been that if a book couldn’t find a publisher it probably wasn’t worth reading. However, just as iTunes changed how consumers found music and the way in which bands made their bread, ebook readers, and in particular the Kindle, are changing the ways in which authors find their readers and make a living. All of this means the old assumptions about indie books no longer hold true, and readers need to be prepared to adjust their expectations accordingly. The Wool Omnibus is a great book and deserves recognition as a full fledged contribution to the science fiction genre."
《羊毛战记》一点儿也不是我想象的那种晦涩难懂的书,反而就像S.J.沃森的推荐语一样——“这哪是小说,根本就是毒品。”这是一本让人欲罢不能的有着深刻意义的科幻小说,也是我所读过的类似主题的文学作品中最容易读的一本。 那似乎看不到尽头的旋转楼梯、那隔一段时间就需要...
评分听说这本书要被拍成电影,我一点都不感到奇怪。因为它本身就很有镜头感:刚刚还涓涓细流、慢条斯理地描述一个场景或者一段心理活动,接着就急转直下,那种急切想知道结局的心情根本等不及眼睛追逐文字的速度。所以这毫无疑问是一本能一直吸引你读下去的书,说它是有瘾的毒药,...
评分 评分假如有一天,你发现,我们生活的这个世界,根本就是由谎言构筑而成的,你会怎么做呢? 是只身一人走出欺骗的阴影、去追寻真相的光明?还是说出真相、揭竿而起,引发一场惊天动地的革命?抑或是,忍气吞声、维持现状、得过且过,因为不反抗也意味着不必流血和牺牲? 《羊毛战记...
评分其实最开始注意到本书, 并非因为网传如何之热门, 而仅仅是因为觉得这个名字颇为有趣。 毕竟“羊毛”这样柔软的词汇, 很少与“战记”这样坚硬的词汇组合到一起。 拿到书以后得知原名仅仅是“羊毛”(wool), 而且读后发现实际上和全书的关系并不大, 感觉上倒像是作者从书...
没劲。另外现在看到“反乌托邦”就恶心。
评分不错的故事,但感觉作者需要个编辑,让整个故事更精炼一点。
评分说自己喜欢看scifi,被同事耻笑说没看过wool就不能叫喜欢。前不久才看过1984,相对而言这个世界还算是善良,开篇很是吸引人,作者笔触流畅,看来要继续看shift和dust,来完善这个silo系统了。
评分极为乏味,昏昏欲睡(已读60%+),难以想象在2011年还会有人喜欢这么老派的故事。
评分最出彩的莫过于Bernard遥望Jules翻过山头 拨通别的Silo号码的那一段
