Peace In Amber

If you are a fan of Kurt Vonnegut, and/or a fan of Hugh Howey (and if you haven't discovered the magic of Wool, yet, do yourself a favor and pick it up right now), then check out his short story, Peace In Amber.

The story works as a complimentary piece to Slaughterhouse Five, but also is it's own beautiful tale told from the point of view of a man on the morning of 9/11, and as a woman trapped in the alien zoo with non other than Billy Pilgrim.

There is such heart to the story and Hugh Howey upholds what made Slaughterhouse Five so unique and important. Kurt Vonnegut would be proud.
