Hugh is a one of the most high profile authors to make the transition from being a self-published, Amazon author to an international bestseller and publishing sensation. Wool (our review here) sold over 250,000 copies as a self-published title, before flying into the top ten when it was published by Random House earlier this year. Ridley Scott has bought the film rights and the script, which has been written by Steve Zaillian (Schindler’s List, Gangs of New York) has just been completed.

Shift is the much anticipated prequel to Wool, and takes us back to the beginnings of the silo. Shift brings together self-published novellas First, Second and Third Shift. Check out the synopsis here:
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. Only 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 final instalment in this trilogy, Dust, is published in October.
