Leah is now in the heart of Samizdat, the underground league of thinkers, writers, and artists who publish and distribute illegal books throughout the silo. Just as she begins to learn the truth about herself and her family, she learns that a revolution is brewing in the silo, and she is caught up in the events that might effect human life on earth forever.
RENEW is a short story of about 10k words (about 60 pages) that takes place in the world of Hugh Howey's bestselling WOOL saga. It is the third and final part of a three part series that make up The Silo Archipelago. Written with Hugh's permission, Renew examines the issues of control, tyranny, and censorship through the lens of history. Throughout time, dissident writers have used paper and words as weapons of war against both governments and really bad ideas. REFUSE, RESIST, and RENEW, in the spirit of A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch and The Gulag Archipelago, examine what would happen if there were literary dissidents in the silos of Hugh Howey's WOOL.

I've ended the Archipelago Series a few days ago, but I did not write the review immediately. Not for lack of emotions, quite the contrary, it kept returning to my mind waiting over and over.
Without being irrespectful, this story could have been written by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn; it represents perfectly a distant (or not so distant?) future and the struggle for freedom, not physical freedom, but the freedom to express oneself in one of the most suitable ways to human beings: writing.
While reading on my Kindle I found myself thinking how there was a bit of irony in doing that, too bad I cannot reveal it here without spoiling too much, but I'm sure you'll feel the same.
