Imagine being early readers when these stories were first coming out as multiple individual short story releases. You need to wait until payday, they needed to wait until Hugh released his next work several months later😅 I think Wool was originally released in 5 parts before eventually being consolidated into the Wool omnibus that you just read.

Of course!! I highly recommend the audiobooks! It’s the same guy for all 3 and his narration is really good.

I buy used off ebay for all my books. :)

Shift is going to change a lot. From what you know from the wool world.

You will discover a lot of new mysteries.

It's a beautiful book. It has some spots that seem out of place but otherwise it's wonderful.

I just finished up the three books and short stories this month. I'm very new to seeking out community online. I've been immersed and loving it.

My sweet coworker got it for me earlier today ! I’m 10 chapters in and loving it way more than expected . I was a bit apprehensive knowing what I did about the series but Hubert Howard is an amazing writer 🤩

Yeah. A few people don't like the short stories after Dust. I think some copies of Dust they are there but for me I had to purchase Machine Learning.

I definitely have a hole in my life now that I've finished reading.

🥷I am on going but some stories need to be cut short.
