For over thirty years, the IT Directors of Silo 40 had a terrible secret. They had made contact with a group who called themselves the rangers.
The rangers had developed a plan which would allow the people of Silo 40 the chance to escape their underground city and rejoin the world outside.
For the first time, the doors to the silo were not opened to send out a cleaner, but to allow in visitors.

Good concept, poorly written
The ideas contained in the Hart's Folly series are really fantastic, and give us a whole new view of the world outside the silos. However, the books are written in an extremely stilted fashion, and it's all pure exposition with no character development. A happened, then B, then C. D said E to F. Dull as a butter knife, with nothing to flesh out the story or spark the imagination. The stiltedness is partly from very little use of contractions, which makes no sense given the time and the people and isn't present in any other Silo story. At first I thought it was a device used to set apart the Rangers, but when the people of Silo 40 speak the same exact way, I knew it was the writer's fault - it feels like he split contractions just to pad the word count.
I would really love to see these three very short stories expanded some day, it's a wonderful concept. I bought all three books after reading the sample of the first one, The Lawman, but found my money wasted on three rough drafts of short stories, unfortunately.
