I didn't enjoy Sand as much as the Silo series, but it was still very good and another unique take on a post-apocalyptic society. Much darker at points than Wool. I have enjoyed almost everything I have read by him, the only exceptions being a couple short stories that have only been "ok". I really need to try the Molly Fyde series soon.

Haha. That's pretty cool (about the pinch of sand). I like dark reads so I think I'll enjoy it

A warning that you may or may not care about. The book has more adult language and circumstances than the Wool books. Not a huge amount, but still more than Wool.

Family safe description in the spoiler tags, though still hidden due to the content.

Spoiler:

There are numerous uses of the f word and fairly direct references to its meaning, generally as a crude comment in response to the usage of the word. Nothing more explicit than that yet.

Thanks for the warning!
