Product Description

Product Description

In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platform that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate.

In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event.

At almost the same moment in humanity’s broad history, mankind had discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good follow up to the Wool Trilogy 27 Feb 2013
By Paul T
Format:Kindle Edition
I think you need to think of this as a prequel in chronological terms but as a sequel in reading order terms when relating it to Wool. It's a good story, but I'd say having read Wool is a must to get the most out of it. Builds well, took me a good while to identify the character thread linking the two time periods in the book but all in all I enjoyed it and am looking forward to Second Shift.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent follow-up 2 Jan 2013
By Jonboy
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
First Shift is the follow-up prequel to WOOL.

Wool is a fantastic book and you'll need to read that first. Upon finishing WOOL I was ecstatic to find this sequel, which looks to address how the Silo population came about (essentially what happened to the world prior to WOOL).

As before, the characters are similarly engaging, but I felt my enthusiasm for this book was largely driven by curiosity from the first. This book centers on the characters who designed the silos (without full knowledge of the purpose) and allows glimpses into the technologies that ended the world. It's certainly a different take on the genre and well worth the read.

Hugh Howey's writing style is maintained and he really seeks to build depth behind both WOOL and (subsequently) Second Shift. To be perfectly honest, if you've read WOOL, you're pretty much guaranteed to read this, so writing a review is almost pointless :)

Highly addictive.
Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good follow up to Wool
This is the first part of three of the sequel (prequel) to Wool. It gives background and provides some context to the original story told in Wool.
