The incredible new novel and brand new world from the international bestselling author of the Wool trilogy.

The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes. Here in this land of howling wind and infernal sand, four siblings find themselves scattered and lost.

Palmer has never been the same since his father walked out twelve years ago. His elder sister, Vic, is trying to run away from the past; his younger brothers, Connor and Rob, are risking their lives to embrace it. His mother, left with nothing but anger, is just trying to forget.

Palmer wants to prove his worth, not only to his family, but to himself. And in the barren, dune-covered landscape of his home, there is only one way to earn respect: sand-diving. Plunging deep below the desert floor in search of relics and scraps of the old world. He is about to embark on the most dangerous dive of his young life, aiming to become the first to discover the rumoured city below.

Deep within the sand lies the key to bringing his family together – and tearing their world apart.

Critic Reviews

Sand immerses you in its grubby post-apocalyptic world … Howey conjures a credible, brutal future.
Hugh Howey can really write.
In short, Sand will earn Mr Howey another well-deserved million or more.
This terrifically fresh and well-realised setting provides the background for a richly emotional story about families and communities.
Sand shows the success of Howey’s Wool Trilogy was no fluke. This is a superior SF thriller, both slick and gritty.
It’s all too easy to get so wrapped up in spaceships that you forget what original sci-fi ideas are like … But it’s the horror quality of the sand-diving that stays with you – described so hauntingly that you can almost taste the grit.
