About this listen
Silo 42 has a secret.
There are 50 Silos in total. None know the others exist. They live in isolation, under the illusion they are the only humans still alive on Earth, protected by their sophisticated underground micro-universe for centuries, while they wait for the harsh outside conditions and aftermath of the Great War to subside.
However, life in Silo 42 is more sustainable than the others. Energy resources have been updated. Creativity, freedom, and transparency have created the conditions for its people to thrive. All positive indicators for Silo health. But that was never the true intention of the Silo project. The Pact, written by the original builders, requires absolute conformity to the original plan.
Silo 1 Head, Donald Keene, is growing increasingly concerned about the data he is receiving from Silo 42. They are either…dying or flourishing. Either way, it’s not acceptable. The time is quickly approaching when Silo 42 may be forced to save itself from the overly controlling rules of the Pact or face extinction. Ahotay Lathrop, Silo 42 Head, knows that Silo 1 is watching its every move. The time will come when he must make the decision to protect the future of their Silo and the 10,000 souls who call it home.
Can they outwit Donald Keene and Silo 1, and avoid certain erasure from the Silo grid?
"Silo 42 Deception is a gripping page-turner combining a riveting mystery, a budding romance, and a Protopian future where decisions are made with the seventh generation in mind. This sci-fi thriller shows the positive nature of the human spirit to thrive even under the most oppressive of circumstances — solutions we can apply right now to create a more sustainable future on Earth." - Kay Everett
“The tempo and scene-setting carry the reader along from level to level, sitting in on suspenseful conversations as a fly on the wall, and the story moves swiftly to bring everything to a head perfectly. I recommend Silo 42: Deception for the reader who wants to dive into a book and be pulled along on a thrilling roller coaster ride that concludes in a fireworks display.” – reader review
Silo 42: Deception is set in the world of Wool created by Hugh Howey and now a popular television series on Apple+ TV. It is not just a fast-paced thriller. It contains a variety of practical real-world solutions for some of the most pressing issues facing our planet around energy use, food production, mental and physical health, and more.

Story
For centuries, men and women have manned lighthouses to ensure the safe passage of ships. It is a lonely job and a thankless one for the most part. Until something goes wrong. Until a ship is in distress. In the twenty-third century, this job has moved into outer space. A network of beacons allows ships to travel across the Milky Way at many times the speed of light. These beacons are built to be robust. They never break down. They never fail. At least, they aren’t supposed to.

Story
Em uma paisagem destruída e hostil, em um futuro ao qual poucos tiveram o azar de sobreviver, uma comunidade resiste, confinada em um gigantesco silo subterrâneo. Lá dentro, mulheres e homens vivem enclausurados, sob regulamentos estritos, cercados por segredos e mentiras. Para continuar ali, eles precisam seguir as regras, mas há quem se recuse a fazer isso. Essas pessoas são as que ousam sonhar e ter esperança, e que contagiam os outros com seu otimismo. Um crime cuja punição é simples e mortal. Elas são levadas para o lado de fora. Juliette é uma dessas pessoas. E talvez seja a última.

Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.
