Best of Red Rising Series Book 1
An Amazon Best Book of the Month, February 2014: Look beyond the inevitable comparison to The Hunger Games–Red Rising is the first book of a gritty, complex trilogy that blazes its own trail. On desolate Mars, the protagonist, Darrow, is caught in a class system that thrives on oppression and secrecy. He is a Red, the lowest member of society, born to toil in the bowels of the planet in service to the sovereign Golds. When Darrow suffers a devastating loss and betrayal he becomes a revolutionary, taking on a dangerous role in an attempt to bring about social justice. Questions of fate, duality, and loyalty, evolve in a cruel test of war between the sons and daughters of the ruling elite. By turns brutal and heartfelt, Red Rising is nonstop action with surprising twists and unforgettable characters. —Seira Wilson
Set centuries in the future on a colonized Mars, Red Rising follows Darrow, a member of the oppressed “Red” caste, who labors in subterranean mines believing he’s helping terraform the planet for his descendants. After his beloved wife Eo is executed for her rebellious spirit, Darrow is recruited by the Sons of Ares to infiltrate the ruling Gold caste by undergoing a brutal transformation. Posing as a Gold at their elite military academy, he navigates intense physical trials, deadly rivalries, and the seductive elitism of his oppressors. Driven by vengeance and a growing conscience, Darrow leads a revolution that challenges the rigid, color-coded social order.
