Karma lives in the Silo, deep underground. She lives with a man whom she barely knows and with a name she doesn’t remember choosing. When visions come to her about another husband, another way of life, and another world, Karma struggles to discover what came before.
Outside, there is only the swirl of toxic clouds and an endless darkness broken by the rare glimpse of a faded sun or a dim star.
Slowly, Karma learns where the real power is, and how to survive in this hellish concrete cylinder. Birth, death, love, murder, uprisings and cleanings come and go over the years, but still she carries on.
Beaten but unbowed, Karma vows to preserve her memories of life above for those who will never breathe the open air.
"Karma of the Silo" is a full-length novel which collects Fitzgerald's shorter works based on Hugh Howey's Silo Saga. It includes these stories:
The Sky Used to be Blue
Cleaning Up
Deep Justice
Rising Up
Last Walk
More praise for Patrice Fitzgerald and the Karma series:
The author does a fantastic job of retaining the atmosphere and claustrophobia of life underground and the characters are carefully constructed, exploring not only the effects of Silo life on the family dynamic, but the often complex relationships between the different Silo classes through the eyes of Karma and her family as she realises who she really is and has to decide whether to remain subdued and forget her past life, or choose a different path than the one chosen for her and challenge the status quo.
