Red Rising Series

In Red Rising, Pierce Brown takes us deep into the stratified society of a futuristic Mars, where one's fate is determined by color-coded castes and the machinations of the elite. At the center of this dystopian world is Darrow, a "Red" - the lowest caste, laborers toiling beneath the surface, ignorant of the world above and the lies that keep them shackled.

Brown’s narrative is not merely a rebellion story; it's an introspective dive into the heart of injustice, power, and the indomitable human spirit. From the underground mines to the deceptive opulence of the "Golds" - the ruling elite, the novel is a turbulent ride filled with betrayals, strategic maneuvers, and heart-wrenching sacrifices.

Brown's world-building is impeccable, painting a Mars that is both familiar and alien. The houses, the institute, and the brutal game of power and control is reminiscent of ancient Rome, but with a twist that is uniquely Brown’s.

Red Rising serves as an enthralling introduction to a futuristic caste-based society on the brink of revolution. It's a thrilling fusion of raw emotion, political intrigue, and a fast-paced action. For readers seeking an exciting, fast-paced, dystopian sci-fi series, Pierce Brown's masterful work hits all the right chords.
