"For the Word of Wool shall rise from the Amazon, In the final year of this Earth, And all shall see it, But instead they see their End." - Ancient Mayan Stone Tablet Hugh Howey, the author of the best selling sci-fi series Wool, comes to Australia in late 2012 to promote the Random House print of his most famous work. His fans, loyal beyond sanity, take a minor slight against him to be an unforgivable insult and are driven to madness. Soon the virus—the love of Wool—spreads across southern Australia, consuming all who come into contact with the gripping tale. Evan Wright, an EMT with the state emergency service, leads a small group of people out of Sydney in an ambulance. Their only weapon is a single shotgun and a box of shells. The first day there were ten survivors packed into the ambulance. Within days there were just three. So the three head west. Always west, towards South Australia... but the Woolies, the unthinking minions of Hugh, grow beyond counting. And they have a plan. A short post-apocalyptic horror/comedy fanfiction about the fans of Hugh Howey's Wool, soon to be based on a true story.
