Darrow returns as Pierce Brown's New York Times bestselling Red
Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age. The
Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the
leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains. But the Reaper is also
Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a
friend. Marooned far from home after a devastating defeat on the
battlefields of Mercury, Darrow longs to return to his wife and
sovereign, Virginia, to defend Mars from its bloodthirsty would-be
conqueror - Lysander. Lysander longs to destroy the Rising and
restore the supremacy of Gold, and will raze the worlds to realize
his ambitions. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need
Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves - Virginia, Cassius,
Sevro - in order to defend the Republic. So begins Darrow's long
voyage home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends will
reunite, new alliances will be forged, and rivals will clash on the
battlefield. Because Eo's dream is still alive - and after the dark
age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.
Darrow is a Helldiver, one of a thousand men and women who live in
the vast caves beneath the surface of Mars, generations of people
who spend their lives toiling to mine the precious elements that
will allow the planet to be terraformed. Just knowing that, one
day, people will be able to walk the surface of the planet is
enough to justify their sacrifice. The Earth is dying, and Darrow
and his people are the only hope humanity has left. Until the day
Darrow learns that it is all a lie. That Mars has been habitable -
and inhabited - for generations, by a class of people calling
themselves the Golds. A class of people who look down at Darrow and
his fellows as slave labour, to be exploited and worked to death
without a second thought. Until the day Darrow, with the help of a
mysterious group of rebels, disguises himself as a Gold and
infiltrates their command school, intent on taking down his
oppressors from the inside. But the command school is a battlefield
- and Darrow isn't the only student with an agenda. Ender's Game
meets The Hunger Games in this, the first in an extraordinary
trilogy from an incredible new voice.

"Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow."--Scott Sigler
" "
Pierce Brown's relentlessly entertaining debut channels the
excitement of "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins and "Ender's
Game "by Orson Scott Card.
""I live for the dream that my children will be born free," she
says. "That they will be what they like. That they will own the
land their father gave them."
"I live for you," I say sadly.
Eo kisses my cheek. "Then you must live for more.""
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded
society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day,
believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars
livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly,
knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better
world for his children.
But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that
humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush
wilds spread across the planet. Darrow--and Reds like him--are
nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.
Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of
lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary
Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the
next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will
be forced to compete for his life and the very future of
civilization against the best and most brutal of Society's ruling
class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . .
. even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

'Another sizzling space epic to entice, excite and tease. 5 STARS'
- 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'

Ender's Game meets The Hunger Games in MORNING STAR , the second in
an extraordinary trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author
of RED RISING. 'I'm still playing games. This is just the deadliest
yet.' Darrow is a rebel forged by tragedy. For years he and his
fellow Reds worked the mines, toiling to make the surface of Mars
inhabitable. They were, they believed, mankind's last hope. Until
Darrow discovered that it was all a lie, and that the Red were
nothing more than unwitting slaves to an elitist ruling class, the
Golds, who had been living on Mars in luxury for generations. In
RED RISING, Darrow infiltrated Gold society, to fight in secret for
a better future for his people. Now fully embedded amongst the Gold
ruling class, Darrow continues his dangerous work to bring them
down from within. It's a journey that will take him further than
he's ever been before - but is Darrow truly willing to pay the
price that rebellion demands? A life-or-death tale of vengeance
with an unforgettable hero at its heart, Golden Son guarantees
Pierce Brown's continuing status as one of fiction's most exciting
new voices.
Darrow returns as Pierce Brown's New York Times bestselling Red
Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age. The
Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the
leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains. But the Reaper is also
Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a
friend. Marooned far from home after a devastating defeat on the

his ambitions. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need
Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves - Virginia, Cassius,
Sevro - in order to defend the Republic. So begins Darrow's long
voyage home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends will
reunite, new alliances will be forged, and rivals will clash on the
battlefield. Because Eo's dream is still alive - and after the dark
age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

The last two entries into the Sons of Ares had Fitchner on his
heels. In the first, he was driven by love and desperation to save
his wife Brynn before her execution at the hands of the Board of
Quality Control. He failed, but rescued his child. In the second
entry, Fitchner went head to head with both of his early
allies—Arturius and, in a way, Quicksilver. His wrath left
Arturius dead and setback Quicksilver’s dream of expanding
exploration and human habitation to other stars. In Forbidden Song,
Ares may not always be in control. But he has a plan, and it’s a
doozy. FORBIDDEN SONG is one part Ocean’s 11, one part Les
Miserable, and sets the fuse for the Rising that Darrow will
inherit.
