First Shift: Legacy by Hugh Howey
4.0
1. Karma's a bitch. Literally.
2. This is a prequel to the Wool Ommibus (Volumes 1-5), and it goes without saying that 1-5 should be read first; otherwise, you'll just be confused. The books themselves are not confusing - the plot goes in wild directions and there are lots of "WHAT THE EFF!!!" moments all over the place, but the author does a tremendous job in terms of setting the stage and keeping you informed as to what's happening. In any event, read this AFTER you've read 1-5.
3. This is one of the rare prequels that actually might've raised more questions than it answered. We see how the settings of 1-5 came to be, but only from the periphery; our protagonist(s) is still largely in the dark.
4. Each of these WOOL books has at least one "HOLY SHIT" moment; that moment in this book ranks among the best in the series.
Highly recommended. You can blast through 1-6 in a weekend, and you might as well; they're terrific fun.
