NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pierce Brown's relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

"Red Rising ascends above a crowded dys topian field."—USA Today

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR—Entertainment Weekly, BuzzFeed, Shelf Awareness

"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 toils willingly, trusting 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.

I'm currently rereading this series in anticipation of book 6 coming out this year. The final book, book 7, to follow hopefully not too long after. I'm about half way through book 1. Still just as great as the first time around. Although it has a lot of Hunger Games elements to it, it changes drastically after book 1. I highly suggest it.
This first book is a bit young adult but please don't let it hold you back. This is an epic scale sci-fi series. I listened to the audiobook rather than ebook and can whole heartedly recommend.
Amazing series!

I had not heard of this series or author. My library has books 1-5 (ebooks) but all except book 3 are checked out with about 3 month wait times. It seems pretty popular.

Fantastic series— very solid sci-fi writing. I actually think the audiobook is well-worth a listen too, which is fantastically voice-acted.

read the trilogy, all are good and worth it. Book 1 is more like hunger games, but book 2 and 3 are more space opera.
