I'm the author of WOOL, a top 5 science fiction book on Amazon. I also wrote the Molly Fyde saga, a tale of a teenager from the 25th century who is repeatedly told that girls can't do certain things -- and then does them anyway.
A theme in my books is the celebration of overcoming odds and of not allowing the cruelty of the universe to change who you are in the process. Most of them are classified as science fiction, since they often take place in the future, but if you love great stories and memorable characters, you'll dig what you find here. I promise.
Thousands of them have lived underground. They've lived there so long, there are only legends about people living anywhere else. Such a life requires rules. Strict rules. There are things that must not be discussed. Like going outside. Never mention you might like going outside.
Or you'll get what you wish for.
What the press is saying:
Boing Boing's Official Review: "This story is terrific. I was completely immersed, watching Howey slowly paint a picture of a society gone wrong through the eyes and discovery of some truly compelling characters."
Wired.com's Official GeekDad Review: "Howey is among a growing list of authors who are making successful careers of publishing without the assistance of agents and traditional publishing houses. The traditional argument has been that if a book couldn’t find a publisher it probably wasn’t worth reading. However, just as iTunes changed how consumers found music and the way in which bands made their bread, ebook readers, and in particular the Kindle, are changing the ways in which authors find their readers and make a living. All of this means the old assumptions about indie books no longer hold true, and readers need to be prepared to adjust their expectations accordingly. The Wool Omnibus is a great book and deserves recognition as a full fledged contribution to the science fiction genre."

地堡的建立者精心設計瞭一套生態係統,為生活在其中的人設定瞭故事情節,並通過指令的方式提供瞭多種故障解決方案。後世的統治者隻需要: 1、保證自己不夠蠢,能夠理解地堡的運作方式; 2、保證自己不夠蠢,能夠忠實的按照指令操作; 3、Enjoy作為掌控者的樂趣,與喜歡的人戀愛...
評分1. 為毛地堡沒有電梯(也許就像小說裏說的為瞭主旨人們的交流但是始終覺得這個設定腦殘的很) 2. 為何他們不罷工 顯然這個更無産階級 哈哈哈。(後來威脅瞭停止供電)。其實我是覺得 底層的人民群眾 上去直接上去就和谘詢區開打,打的特彆突兀。 3. 科學性問題:一、無綫電問...
評分難得這部小說分到瞭科幻一類,這事兒挺無厘頭的,整部小說從頭到尾沒有體現齣哪怕一點超齣20世紀的科技,更彆提漏洞百齣的設定瞭,這也算科幻的話,《舒剋貝塔曆險記》怎麼說? 從科技角度,這幫貨住的地堡有多大?估計不小,但絕對大不到能維持幾百年的生態圈的,如果使用落後...
評分別搞錯瞭,這可不是什麼『羊毛的五十道陰影』。完全不一樣。《羊毛記》真的有料,真的好看到爆,看瞭你就會明白,網路上那些High翻天、散播速度比瘟疫還快的狂熱五星口碑是怎麼來的……如果你到現在還沒讀過《羊毛記》,那你鐵定是那種完全跟不上網路流行、無可救藥的『老派讀...
評分科幻世界譯文版2013年9月也有羊毛一文。作者是同一人。 一開始不知道怎麼迴事。後來買瞭全文比較,發現譯文版上隻有第一段。 譯者不同。第一段寫的真好,讓人忍不住去買全本。 翻譯上我覺得科幻世界譯文版的譯者好一點。 真可惜沒有科幻世界齣的全本。全本隻有湖南人民這本
圖書標籤: 科幻 小說 美國 外國文學 原版 買書如山倒讀書如抽絲 scifi sci-fi
看完瞭,沒看懂。。。這語言能力太揪心瞭,必須找機會再看一次
評分要不是機緣巧閤被作者主動送瞭一本,可能我就錯過它瞭。
評分極為乏味,昏昏欲睡(已讀60%+),難以想象在2011年還會有人喜歡這麼老派的故事。
評分第一個故事寫得好。
評分不錯的故事,但感覺作者需要個編輯,讓整個故事更精煉一點。
