I got Silo 1-5 and First Shift at around the same time, so I didn't find out that I wasn't a fan of 1-5 until I already had First Shift. That was a mistake.
If you enjoyed 1-5, then you will likely enjoy First Shift as well, but I thought that it was less interesting because there's an even heavier focus on bureaucracy when I thought that the early books were a bit dry to begin with. In addition, I found that I liked the protagonist in the Silo collection better than this one (it's a different person), so there really wasn't much here for me.
