TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION WITH A NEW ESSAY BY THE AUTHOR

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 . . .

There is no picture on the edges, just colour.

Industry Reviews

Pierce offers a Hollywood-ready story with plenty of action and thrills. - Publishers Weekly

RED RISING is what The Hunger Games should have been. - Fiction Vortex

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

RED RISING is compulsively readable and exceedingly entertaining... a must for both fans of classic sci-fi and fervent followers of new school dystopian epics. - Fantasy Review Barn

Like mankind has in the past, Pierce Brown reaches for the stars... - 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

Red Rising gives a bleak but fascinating look at life on Mars ... beautifully illustrates the different faces that evil takes on when greed and power overtake one's very humanity - The Mary Sue
