This work contains the five Beacon 23 stories, originally released in serialized form.
For centuries, men and women have manned lighthouses to ensure the safe passage of ships. It's a lonely job, and a thankless one for the most part - until something goes wrong, until a ship is in distress.
In the 23rd century, this job has moved into outer space. A network of beacons allows ships to travel across the Milky Way at many times the speed of light. These beacons are built to be robust. They never break down. They never fail.
At least, they aren't supposed to.

Lima Not my first Howey novel, but this is the first time I cared about an author and his work enough to sit down and write a review. I just finished putting the book down and frankly I'm still too anesthetized by Howey's bold idea to write something truly helpful. But I'll try anyway. In this review I'll refrain from commenting on the plot, on narrative or writing style. These are all done in beauty and elegance, although such judgements are really subject to the eyes of the beholder. However, I will try to write about something more elusive: what the book is really about; the book's soul.I expected a sci-fi dystopic future along the lines of the Wool Olmnibus. However, what I got as I delved deeper into Beacon 23 was a magnificent and mind-numbing exploration of the human mind and human nature - naked and raw in all its beauty and shortcomings.Howey, in a straightforward and effotless manner, digs deep into the very fabric of human emotions. The entire novel serves a single purpose: to allow the author to pose a grand question. A beautiful and inspiring question.Some might say that the tone of this novel is too dark and gloomy, albeit I found myself laughing out loud at certain points. I hope those who would say that stuck to the end of the book and were rewarded by the feeling of hope and peace which pervaded my thoughts as I put my kindle down. I honesly hope you will agree and that Hugh Howey continues surprising us with his writing.

The main character is a soldier trying to run from his memories and his guilt. But even living alone in the middle of the galaxy, as sole keeper of the beacon, are not enough. The fast pace, the intriguing plot and the doses of humor kept the story from getting grim. And creating his 'new normal' was realistic and poignant and brought many smiles to my face.Good job, Hugh. Thanks for the hours of wonderful reading.

By Brian 4.5 out of 5So far at the edge of Sector 8 (so far out that it should be Sector 9) sits Beacon 23. Each beacon has a “keeper” in them to make sure that if anything goes wrong it can be fixed quickly. This is where we meet Digger. He is alone at the edge of space with just his thoughts and memories. Follow five stories (that were originally posted as serial fiction).I have to start the “my thoughts” part of this review out admitting that I am a Howey fan even though I never finished Wool (I started reading it during a dark period in my life and couldn’t bring myself to finish it). After reading this, I remember why I liked Howey’s stories so much.The character development is great. The point of view was drastic, but in a good and heartbreaking way. The story revolves around a former war “hero” who has requested to be the keeper of a Beacon way out on the edges of space for NASA. Throughout the story you find out bits and pieces of the story as to why he is considered a hero, why he doesn’t think that he is, and exactly what happened to him on that day.His aloneness reminded me of The Martian. His humor reminded me a bit of Watney from The Martian too, but this was a totally different story. The story took a dark turn and weaved in serious mental issues (like PTSD and severe anxiety) in with humor that would have me one minute almost in tears and the next clutching my stomach and laughing.The story is dark and tragic, but I am really glad that I read it. I really felt like I knew Digger by the end. I’m also glad that I didn’t read this as the different “episodes” came out. Only because I would have wanted to whole story, not just bits and pieces of it.Summary of enjoyment by PartsPart Two: Pet Rocks – easily my favorite story. It’s funny and sad. I flew through this one.Part Four: Company – just made me happy.You needed all the parts to understand the full story, so after those two parts it would go: 5, 1, and then 3 for the level of enjoyment. Though if I individually rated each story – none of them would have gotten under a 4 out of 5 stars.
