About the book: 2016 / "The Bunker" by Hugh Howie is one of the most striking new products in the recently formed genre, covering such diverse projects as "Lost" ("Lost" alive"), "Twin Peaks", "The Hunger Games". This is not only a powerful action game, equally exciting on screen and on paper, but also wonderful human stories about love and hatred, loyalty and betrayal, nobility and deceit. The year is 2110. For many years now, people have been living underground, in giant bunkers equipped with everything they need. Generations replace each other, and no one remembers what the world outside was like and what destroyed it. Everyone knows their place and plays their assigned role, observing the main law of the bunker - do not try to go to the surface. This ideal system is controlled by the inhabitants of the first, main bunker. Taking turns waking up from cryosleep, they stand watch, deciding the fate of those who do not even suspect their existence, pulling invisible strings and mercilessly dooming the disobedient to death. True, these guards are just cogs in a perfectly tuned mechanism: they must strictly follow the instructions drawn up once and take drugs that give blissful oblivion. Troy was like that too. When he started his next shift, he conscientiously performed his duties, without thinking about anything else. And this could have gone on forever, but one day Troy realized that he had to remember everything…
