About this book

HANNO DETTO DI WOOL “Wool è il libro più formidabile dell'anno.” Pierdomenico Baccalario – la Repubblica “Howey svela le negatività di un universo distopico in modo graduale e sapiente. Wool ha rinnovato un genere.” Paolo Armelli – Wired.it “Il libro migliore che ho letto negli ultimi anni.” Douglas Preston “Spaventoso, affascinante e irresistibile. In una parola, magnifico.” Kathy Reichs “I segreti si svelano con un ritmo perfetto... difficile fare meglio.” Rick Riordan “Un mondo futuro perfettamente ricostruito, personaggi realistici e una storia piena di tensione. La scrittura di Howey è la ciliegina sulla torta.” Jonathan Hayes “In un futuro post apocalittico, una storia che non parla solo agli amanti del genere, ma a tutti i lettori. Come Hunger Games.” Wall Street Journal

About Hugh Howey

Born in 1975, I spent the first eighteen years of my life getting through the gauntlet of primary education. While there, I dabbled in soccer, chess, and tried to write my first novel (several times). Out of school, I became fascinated with computers, repaired them for a brief stint, then moved to Charleston, SC and attended college. To save money, I purchased a small sailboat to live on, and nearly got myself killed bringing it down from Baltimore with a friend. After my junior year of college, possibly out of fear of the real world, I left my safe little harbor and sailed South. I hopped around the islands for a while, went through two hurricanes, and spent the last of my cruising funds re-stepping my mast. It was time to head back to the States, where I began a career as a yacht captain. This began an exciting phase of my life, traveling all over the East coast and Caribbean, from Barbados to Chicago. I worked on boats in New York, the Bahamas, even Canada. One of these adventures brought me together with my wife, who was able to lure me away from my vagabond ways, dropping anchor and buying a house. Physically settled, my mind continued to roam, concocting adventures and whisking me off to fantastic places. Some of these tales seemed worth sharing, so I tapped into my love of books and decided to write them down. My first stories detail the life of a character that I’ve been mulling over for quite some time. Her name is Molly Fyde, and she draws inspiration from the awesome women in my life. My Wool series became a sudden success in the Fall of 2011. Originally just a novelette, the demand from Amazon reviewers sent me scurrying to write more tales in this subterranean world. The resulting Omnibus has spent considerable time in the Amazon top 100, has been a #1 Bestseller in Science Fiction on Amazon, and was optioned by Ridley Scott and Steve Zaillian for a potential feature film. The story of its success has been mentioned in Entertainment W
