NOW THE NO.1 DRAMA IN THE HISTORY OF APPLE TV+

The much anticipated prequel to bestseller Wool that takes us back to the beginnings of the silo.

In a future less than fifty years away, the world is still as we know it. Time continues to tick by. The truth is that it is ticking away.

A powerful few know what lies ahead. They are preparing for it. They are trying to protect us.

They are setting us on a path from which we can never return.

A path that will lead to destruction; a path that will take us below ground.

The history of the silo is about to be written.

Our future is about to begin.

The narrator’s voice sounds like characters from The Simpsons. The Mission character sounded like an old Jimmy Stewart but was a young man? I skipped a lot of Silo 18 chapters as the voices were so annoying and the story dragged. Could have been good with better narration.

Voice sounds like the Simpsons.

Not as good as the first book, mostly due to poor characters and character development, but decent story and good to have the backstory. The narrator was quite good in most respects, but really ruined much of the second section especially with a ridiculous voice used for some characters, especially Mission. I found it very hard to listen to the parts about him because of this

Some painful character voice choices by narrator

Should be the lady from first part, this was too american. Also, hardly recognize roles

The different narrator

Great book but the narrator isn’t nearly as good as the one from the previous book, the voices he does for a few characters were really difficult to listen to and completely ruin a few scenes

Narrator almost ruined it

The narrator is a terrible character voice actor. He sounds like he’s imitating Simpson’s characters when doing voices. When he is just narrating, his voice is fine. Unfortunately the character voicing ruined my enjoyment of this book.
