Picked up "Across the Sand" by Hugh Howey at the library the other day. I enjoyed his Silo series so I grabbed it knowing nothing about it. The jacket didn't give me any indication it was the sequel to another book called "Sand" — it wasn't until I was skimming the acknowledgements at the end that I realized this was book 2. I enjoyed the characters and story enough to continue to the end, even though while reading I felt a bit dumb for not really understanding or being able to visualize this world they live in.
Any other experiences like this? (Also, if anyone has read Sand and Across the Sand — should I now go back and read Sand?)
