Deze serie dompelt lezers onder in een meeslepende post-apocalyptische wereld waar de mensheid diep ondergronds overleeft binnen een uitgestructureerde, schijnbaar eindeloze silo. Dappere hoofdpersonen wagen zich naar het gevaarlijke oppervlak, op zoek naar waarheden over het verleden en de geheimen van hun ondergrondse thuis. Het verhaal ontvouwt zich met aangrijpende spanning, waarbij thema's als samenzwering, overleving en de strijd om vrijheid tegen onderdrukkende krachten worden verkend. Het is een tot nadenken stemmende reis naar een nauwgezet gecreëerde, dystopische toekomst.

    The first original novel from author Hugh Howey in six years, Across the Sand takes us back to the world of Sand, to a far future many generations after a disaster has destroyed civilization as we know it, where four siblings struggle to build their futures amid the harsh wastes of endless desert. ?The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes, a land of howling wind and infernal sand. In this barren home, siblings Conner, Rob, Palmer and Violet daily carve out a future. They live in the shadow of their father and oldest sister, Vic, two of the greatest sand divers ever to comb the desert's depths. But these branches of their family tree are long gone, disappeared into the wastes beyond, leaving the younger siblings scratching in the dust, hopeful for a better life. On the other side of No Man's Land, Anya was born beside the abundant mines knowing her prospects would be to marry, have a family, and work in ore, in service to the Empire of the East. But when an atomic bomb delivered by a stranger destroys most of her town--murdering all her friends and community--she follows her father to a strange land of dunes to bring vengeance to their enemies.
