Red Rising

Pierce Brown

£10.99

Available on back-order

Darrow is a Helldiver, one of a thousand men and women who live in the vast caves beneath the surface of Mars, generations of people who spend their lives toiling to mine the precious elements that will allow the planet to be terraformed. Just knowing that, one day, people will be able to walk the surface of the planet is enough to justify their sacrifice. The Earth is dying, and Darrow and his people are the only hope humanity has left. Until the day Darrow learns that it is all a lie. That Mars has been habitable – and inhabited – for generations, by a class of people calling themselves the Golds. A class of people who look down at Darrow and his fellows as slave labour, to be exploited and worked to death without a second thought.

Pierce Brown’s heart-pounding and high-octane debut is the first book in a spectacular series that combines the drama of Game of Thrones with the epic scope of Star Wars.

**********

‘Pierce Brown’s empire-crushing debut is a sprawling vision . . . Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow’ – Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling author of Pandemic

‘[A] top-notch debut novel . . . Red Rising ascends above a crowded dystopian field’ – USA Today

**********

Darrow is a Helldiver. A pioneer of Mars.

Born to slave beneath the earth so that one day, future generations might live above it.

He is a Red – humankind’s lowest caste. But he has something the Golds – the ruthless ruling class – will never understand.

He has a wife he worships, a family who give him strength. He has love.

And when they take that from him, all that remains is revenge . . .
