- Starburst Darrow was born a slave. He became a weapon. He ended
centuries of Gold rule, broke the chains of an empire, and now he's
the hero of a brave new republic. But at terrible cost. At the edge
of the solar system, the grandson of the emperor he murdered dreams
of revenge. In his hidden fortress in the oceans of Venus, the Ash
Lord lies in wait, plotting to crush the newborn democracy. And, at
home, a young Red girl who's lost everything to the Rising
questions whether freedom was just another Gold lie. In a fearsome
new world where Obsidian pirates roam the Belt, famine and genocide
ravage Mars, and crime lords terrorise Luna, it's time for Darrow
and a cast of new characters from across the solar system to face
down the chaos that revolution has unleashed. ********** Further
praise for Iron Gold 'Fascinating . . . This is one you absolutely
will have to read' - The BiblioSanctum '[Iron Gold] offers us both
a continuation of the story Brown has been telling for years right
alongside an eye-opening widening of his universe, as though we're
watching it all through an exquisitely calibrated telescope that
can slide on perfect bearings from one side of the solar system to
the other without the slightest blur . . . Mature science fiction
existing within the frame of blazing space opera' - NPR Books 'The
books are an exhilarating fusion of The Hunger Games, Blade Runner
and Dune. Amid a pulse-pounding narrative, they fearlessly tackle
major issues like the fragility of democracy and the fallibility of
human nature to betray its ideals even when freedom is attained' -
Express '[A] thoughtful blend of action, intrigue, and prosaic
human drama' - Publishers Weekly 'Iron Gold offers more of
everything we loved about the first three books. Pierce Brown
builds upon the foundations of the incredible universe and story he
spun in the first trilogy, pivoting on his characters' flaws and
fallibility to steer the narrative in unexpected directions.
Suffice it to say, readers will be soon be dying to read the next
one' - Barnes & Noble 'This book lives up to every expectation
I have for Pierce Brown . . . you MUST read this, it will not
disappoint!' - The Speculative Herald 'Brown succeeds not only in
writing a great book, but adding to the world and Red Rising's
mythos . . . The mix of political intrigue, action and thematic
journeys elevate this book from a simple sci-fi adventure into
something more thought-provoking and rewarding. Fans of Brown and
his series should really enjoy this latest addition to Red Rising'

FROM THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOLY ISLAND AND
IMPOSTOR THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY... When a cantankerous old woman
dies at her home in the sleepy, picturesque village of Bamburgh,
DCI Ryan doesn't think much of it-except, that is, for the small
matter of it having been his wife who happened to find her body.
Then another body turns up amongst the sand dunes at the base of
the mighty castle fortress, and he decides it can't be a
coincidence... Meanwhile, after a recent revelation about her
sister, DC Melanie Yates' quest to avenge her death is becoming an
obsession-much to the concern of those around her. With a new DCS
to contend with and hundreds of cold case files to sift through,
the chances of uncovering a dormant killer seem unlikely. But as
Melanie delves deeper into the secrets of the past to uncover the
truth, she soon realises it lies much closer to home... Murder and
mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced
crime whodunnit, set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.
