Dust isn't out yet though.

Never too early to start promoting your next work.

Great series, i've read all of them that were released and would highly recommend this series to anyone who likes apocalyptic or sci-fy stories.For $4 i'd doubt anyone could be disappointed.

For those of you on the fence, I was hesitant at first too, but it turned out to be SO GOOD!! I picked it up on the last slickdeal. I immediately picked up First Shift and Second Shift (which are somewhat like prequels) after finishing Wool Omnibus. I keep telling my friends to read it. I am currently on Third Shift (just started 2 days ago), and pretty sure I will finish it tonight. Shift series books are available as Shift Omnibus now, which I also recommend.

I don't really read sci-fi or stories about dystopic worlds, but this is a page-turner. The writing style is great, too.

Quote from Mr. Harley : The author DOES pretty much stay true to all the social, and technological, implications, of his story through book two, though I disagree with the society he has created and it's ability to crush oral tradition to the degree his has and simply have an "official" history - it takes dictatorships much harsher than what he portrays IMHO - think North Korea.

Not exactly sure how far you got, but I'm pretty sure you're alluding to something that gets explained in the Shift series.

Great set of books (Wool). Just bought Shift!

Quote from mkiep : Not exactly sure how far you got, but I'm pretty sure you're alluding to something that gets explained in the Shift series.

Actually wasn't alluding to the Shift series, I haven't read them. I was alluding to how historically how hard things have to get clamped down on to eliminate oral history. That is a good sign that the author actually is paying attention to those things - as I said in my previous review, I may actually be being slightly unfair, thinking back to how many "unclassic" stories the "greats" have written. Some of you seem determined to pique my interest in this series again.

The problem with oral history are the distortions that come over time - a perfect example are the great flood stories from the eastern part of the Mediterranean basin, such as Gilgamesh and Noah's Ark. It turns out that there very well may have been a flood of over 100 meters due to a land bridge collapse at the Bosporus (what are now the narrow waterway between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean) over 7,000 years ago.There have been various estimates, and roughly may have occured about the speed of a rapidly incoming tide, i.e. no time to save your possessions, just enough time to get out and with any delay at all you die - but I assume I don't need to recap how the story gets changed after a few thousand years. SF writers have had loads of fun with that issue and post-apocalyptic worlds, too.

And to demonstrate the persistence of oral tradition (especially if it is written down after the distortions, or details altered to improve its quality as a teaching story), even in the face of a decade of scientific research - especially if it becomes "institutionalized."

Can't recommend it enough. Devoured it in a week.

Awesome series. Definitely worth getting, especially at that price.
