A note for parents
First Shift is a dystopian prequel to Wool that explores themes of government control, memory manipulation, and loss of freedom through a compact but conceptually dense narrative. The book contains some violence and disturbing themes around forced medication and authoritarianism, but the violence is not graphic. This is more appropriate for older teens interested in thought-provoking science fiction rather than younger readers.

The incredible first part of the follow up to bestseller Wool. Donald Keene has been recruited by the government to design a shelter. He has been told that it is just protocol. That it won’t really be used. That it is ‘just-in-case’. It is underground. Over fifty years later Donald’s design has been realised and the last remnants of mankind live in his silo. But no one can remember what life was like before. In fact, they’re forced to forget. One simple pill erases a memory. And with it, any chance of hope.
