Description

** 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF RED RISING, FEATURING UNIQUE GOLD FOIL COVER AND EXTRA BONUS CONTENT. **

I would have lived in peace. But my enemies brought me war.

The dazzling first book in the explosive global sensation from Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author Pierce Brown.

Darrow is a Red, a member of humanity's lowest caste, toiling beneath the surface of Mars to make the planet liveable for future generations. Believing that his sweat and blood will create a better world for his children.

But everything Darrow has been told is a lie. Humanity reached the surface long ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet, while Reds like Darrow suffer in the dirt.

Driven by revenge - and the memory of lost love - Darrow will sacrifice everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power.

There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies. Even if it means becoming one of them . . .

READERS LOVE RED RISING

'A ridiculously good book with complex world-building, riveting characters, and a crazy sci-fi space school. What more could you want in a story?' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'What an intense, visceral, twisty story. There's a lot more of Lord of the Flies here than Hunger Games or Ender and it just builds and builds to a heck of a conclusion' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'This was such a clever beginning to this series!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Media Reviews

Fast-paced, gripping, well-written-the sort of book you cannot put down. I am already on the lookout for the next one * Terry Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of The Sword of Shannara *
Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow: Pierce Brown's empire-crushing debut is a sprawling vision * Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling author of Pandemic *
[A] spectacular adventure . . . one heart-pounding ride . . . Pierce Brown's dizzyingly good debut novel evokes The Hunger Games, Lord of the Flies, and Ender's Game. . . . [Red Rising] has everything it needs to become meteoric * Entertainment Weekly *
[A] top-notch debut novel . . . Red Rising ascends above a crowded dystopian field * USA Today *
Pierce Brown has done an astounding job at delivering a powerful piece of literature that will definitely make a mark in the minds of readers * The Huffington Post *
A story of vengeance, warfare and the quest for power . . . reminiscent of The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones * Kirkus Reviews *
[A] great debut . . . The author gathers a spread of elements together in much the same way George R. R. Martin does * Tordotcom *
Compulsively readable and exceedingly entertaining . . . a must for both fans of classic sci-fi and fervent followers of new school dystopian epics * Examiner *
Reminiscent of . . . Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games . . . [Red Rising] will captivate readers and leave them wanting more * Library Journal (starred review) *
Very ambitious . . . a natural for Hunger Games fans of all ages * Booklist *
A Hollywood-ready story with plenty of action and thrills * Publishers Weekly *
Pierce offers a Hollywood-ready story with plenty of action and thrills * Publishers Weekly *
Pierce Brown's relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. * Rising Shadow *
RED RISING is what The Hunger Games should have been. * Fiction Vortex *
Incredible Sci-Fi Cross Between 'Hunger Games' And 'Enders Game' Pulls It Off * Idigital Times *
It has hints of Harry Potter and Hunger Games, but it is its own animal. And it is not YA. The writing is excellent and the story is better. This is one terrific fantasy book, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. * Terry Brooks *
With all of the tension of The Hunger Games and heady dose of savagery that lives somewhere in the space between The Lord of the Flies and ancient Greek mythology that revels in the violent deeds of the deities of old, RED RISING is compulsively readable and exceedingly entertaining. The blend of familiar and unfailingly effective machinations that clash with the stark new reality Brown has created make this tale a must for both fans of classic sci-fi and fervent followers of new school dystopian epics. * Fantasy Review Barn *
RED RISING wouldn't exist without the countless classics it takes its cues from, but this great debut builds a formidable fortress upon their familiar foundations, making such interesting alterations along the way that its piecemeal parts are essentially rendered unrecognisable. Like mankind has in the past, Pierce Brown reaches for the stars, and mostly hits that monumental mark. * Tor.com *
The heart-stopping excitement of the Hunger Games meets the pulse-pounding majesty and complexity of Game of Thrones, all wrapped up in the visionary beauty and melancholy of Blade Runner... A shot of adrenalin for your imagination. * Star Magazine *
