‘Exhilarating, intense, addictive. A novel you will never forget’ SJ Watson, author of Before I Go to Sleep
Synopsis
The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. In the 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. These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple and deadly. They are given the very thing they profess to want: they are allowed outside.
Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last
WOOL is a stellar, thrilling dystopian novel set in a ruined world where a community exists in a silo beneath ground, as hemmed in by the strictly enforced rules as by the toxic air above them. It has captivated readers across the globe since Hugh first released it on Amazon, and was one of the most talked about books of 2012. It has drawn comparisons to the likes of The Road, The Passage and The Hunger Games, with Ridley Scott acquiring film rights earlier this year. Reading it, it become instantly apparent as to why Ridley Scott has picked it up!

The resulting omnibus has been a number one bestseller in Science Fiction on Amazon and captured the attention of readers and publishers across the globe.
