Red Rising
Goodreads Choice Awards, 2014
I am the Reaper and death is my shadow.
Celebrating 10 years of Red Rising! This Hodderscape Vault Edition features a re-designed cover, beautiful foil design under the jacket, and brand new bonus content by Pierce Brown.
THE FIRST BOOK IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES
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 . . .
Pierce Brown’s heart-pounding debut is the first book in a spectacular series that combines the drama of Game of Thrones with the epic scope of Star Wars.

‘This was such a clever beginning to this series!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[A] top-notch debut novel . . . Red Rising ascends above a crowded dystopian field
