Synopsis "Scavenger: Evolution: (Sand Divers, Book One)"

In the future, sand divers search the depths for the lost city of Danvar and the truth behind their bleak existence. Divemaster Rush hasn't dove since he lost his infant. A job offer turns from an escape to a trap and the lure of a hardened heart to survive like anyone else would. One dive leads to another. Farther and farther from the surface, death and evolution change his world. He'll have to change too or watch his wife rise without him. Inspired by Hugh Howey's world of Sand. Written and sold with his permission. Scavenger: Evolution takes the landscape of Dune and throws in the pacing and thrills of Alien.

Hugh Howey is a former bookseller who has achieved his dream: writing and being able to live off it, thanks to his bestseller Wool. He currently lives in Jupiter, Florida, with his wife, Amber, and his dog, Bella.
In 2011, the online bookstore Amazon witnessed the birth of a new sales phenomenon on its website, on par with Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James. Wool (originally titled Wool) was self-published by its author, Hugh Howey, in electronic format and within a few months had positioned itself among the top spots on The New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists. Given the expectations created and backed by an unprecedented public and critical success, the publisher Simon & Schuster decided to acquire the paper publication rights and launched the book to the market last March.

Wool was originally published as five short stories; the success achieved with the first of the tales was what motivated Howey to continue developing the world he had created. With the strategy of serial publication, and thanks to word-of-mouth, Howey managed to attract new followers with each new publication.
This was the beginning of Wool, a phenomenon that has sold 500,000 eBooks on Amazon and will be published in eighteen countries. The film rights to the book have been acquired by Century Fox and the big screen adaptation will feature production by Ridley Scott and screenwriter Steven Zaillian (responsible for works such as Schindler's List or Gangs of New York).
