However, one of the masterminds of the silo project, Senator Paul Thurman, is awakened. Keene races against the clock to prevent this from happening, attempting to talk Juliette through things. The silo with the greatest chance of survival will be released back into the world, while all other silos – including Silo 1 – are exterminated. Intended to save humanity from nanoterrorism, Keene has learned that the fifty silos that have preserved humankind for 250 years so far will be scientifically computed and considered in another 250 years. Keene continues to struggle with the entire concept of the silo system, which he unknowingly helped design.
Juliette’s silo contains many residents who are wary about digging through the wall of their silo, but Juliette tells them they have nothing to worry about because she has been to the outside and survived. Meanwhile, Juliette organizes the miners and diggers of Silo 18 to tunnel their way into Silo 17, where Jimmy, a young couple (Rickson and Hannah), and several children, including Elise, wait for contact with 18. Donald Keene’s health has declined dramatically as he tried to find a way to save the other silos, while Charlotte continues work on a modified drone to see what exists beyond the silos. Dust picks up where the events of Shift left off. “Dust” is a dystopian science fiction novel by Hugh Howey, and is the sequel to his novels “Wool” and “Shift”.
