The Silo Saga Omnibus compiles Hugh Howey's acclaimed series, including Wool, Shift, Dust, and original essays. Set in a vast underground silo where strict rules govern survival, the story follows Juliette, a rebellious mechanic who challenges the status quo.

Fr. Houghton's novel explores the tension between tradition and modernism, highlighting the widening gap between the two. With a blend of humor and thought-provoking themes, it remains relevant and impactful, resonating with contemporary readers as much as it did upon its original release in 1979.

Fr. Bryan Houghton's journey reflects profound personal and spiritual transitions, beginning with his conversion from Protestantism to Catholicism. Embracing the priesthood, he dedicated himself to traditional roles of sacrifice and preaching. However, the transformative changes brought by the Second Vatican Council and subsequent liturgical reforms led him to a crisis of faith. Struggling with the alterations to the Mass and the erosion of liturgical tradition, he ultimately resigned and retreated to southern France, where he focused on prayer, the Tridentine Mass, and documenting his experiences in memoirs.

Set against the backdrop of the changes brought by Vatican II, the story follows an English girl who embraces the Catholic faith, only to witness its profound elements being challenged. Blending lightheartedness with depth, it captures her quiet strength as joy fades amidst upheaval. The narrative intertwines themes of faith and family life, while also offering a charming romance. Long out of print, this novel by Bryan Houghton remains a poignant exploration of enduring faith amidst internal and external struggles, making it a significant addition to the "Catholic Traditionalist Classics" series.
