Hugh Howey is a tremendously talented author.
I didn't love Beacon 23, but his Wool series (apparently now a TV series, which I haven't watched yet) is very, very good. Sand is another great novel. Both feature humanity surviving in incredibly hostile environments, doomed to them by their predecessors.
Third that one. I'm not anxious to see a movie of Wool, but I hope one gets made for the sake of the author.
A second recommendation for Wool and its sequals. I really hope the movie gets made.
I read a lot of mediocre stuff this year, but two are worth mentioning.
Wool - by Hugh Howey. He self-published Wool and now has a deal to make into into a movie directed by Ridley Scott. In that, it's a pivotal work in the self-publishing movement. http://www.amazon.com/Wool-Omnibus-Edition-ebook/dp/B0071XO8RA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1356473029&sr=8-2
Blood Song - Anthony Ryan. Best epic fantasy I've read since Martin's Song of Fire and Ice. http://anthonystuff.wordpress.com/books/
