As an avid gamer and bookworm with a soft spot for dystopian sci-fi, I can’t help but feel like Christmas has come early this November! The second season of Silo on Apple TV premieres today, and not only that, but there’s also a special hardcover edition of the first book in Hugh Howey’s trilogy, Wool, available for a 25% discount.


Today marks the premiere of Season 2 for Apple TV’s gripping dystopian sci-fi series, Silo. However, it’s not just the return of the show that’s generating excitement this week. The acclaimed trilogy by Hugh Howey, which serves as the basis for Silo, has also been making headlines. On November 12th, the first book in the series, Wool, was released in a special Collector’s Edition. You can now purchase this stunning hardcover from Amazon at a 25% discount, making it just $30.

The Silo Saga is included in Amazon’s “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” Book Promotion, although unfortunately, the latest hardcover edition of Wool doesn’t qualify for this deal. However, a collection set of the books, individual copies of two books from the series, as well as several other novels by Howey are part of the “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” offer.

B2G1 Free Silo Book Series & More Hugh Howey Novels

The Silo Saga Box Set, which comprises all three paperback editions of the Silo novels, can be purchased for $34.49 at Amazon and qualifies for a B2G1 free deal. If you prefer individual books, both the first book in the series, Wool, and the third book, Dust, are part of Amazon’s ongoing promotion. Regrettably, the second book is not included in this promotion, but there is an Amazon coupon that reduces the price of Shift to just $7.38.

You might connect Wool and Dust with the initial volume of Howey’s Sand Chronicles series, or Beacon 23. The former was transformed into a television series on MGM+ last year, airing for two seasons until it was canceled in September.

  • The Silo Box Set: Wool, Shift, and Dust (Paperback) — $34.49 ($60)
  • Wool: Silo Book 1 (Paperback) — $12.39 ($20)
  • Shift: Silo Book 2 (Paperback) — $7.38 ($20) | Not eligible
  • Dust: Silo Book 3 (Paperback) — $12.49 ($20)
  • Sand (The Sand Chronicles Book 1, Paperback) — $12.49 ($20)
  • Beacon 23: The Complete Novel (Paperback) — $11.29 ($19)

To maximize your value when choosing the box set, it’s wise to look for two more items (either books or box sets) that are priced comparably. You might discover some great deals on science fiction and fantasy novel box sets, such as those from J.R.R. Tolkien and Brandon Sanderson, which are currently discounted on Amazon. Don’t forget to browse our roundups for free-with-two-purchased books on both Sanderson and Tolkien series!

For those who are new to Apple TV+, they have an offer for a complimentary seven-day trial. With this opportunity, you can delve into the highly praised initial season by streaming it online.

The story of Wool centers around a world on the brink of extinction, where the remnants of humanity reside in an underground shelter due to the toxic environment above ground. However, when the sheriff steps down from his post, a mechanic named Juliette is thrust into the role unexpectedly. This sets off a captivating science fiction tale, as Juliette delves into a mystery that could change the course of their world.

Initially, Howey chose to publish Wool on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform instead of going through traditional publishing houses. Intriguingly, he opted to distribute the book in parts, mimicking the serial novels that were prevalent during the 1800s among authors like Charles Dickens. Similarly, The Martian author Andy Weir achieved success by releasing his work in a serialized manner; however, unlike Howey, Weir shared his story through his personal blog.

In no time, Wool emerged as one of the initial significant triumphs in the Kindle publishing realm. This achievement paved the way for a contract with Simon & Schuster for its print edition. Later on, the special Collector’s Edition of Wool was released under the banner of William Morrow.
