Deal Details
Various Retailers have Red Rising by Pierce Brown (eBook) on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to community member yellowfeverlime for sharing this deal.

Available from:About this book:
  • This is the first book of the Red Rising Saga (6 book series).
  • 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.

It's excellent, get it now! Fantastic series. I was at the end of one of them so I had to immediately purchase the next one, they're that good.

Book one is the weakest to me - too Hunger Games-y, but I heard the publisher made Pierce Brown focus on that tone to capitalize on Hunger Games' popularity. After that, they get amazingly good!

For the bundle lovers, there is a bundle that has the first three books, but it's never been on sale and remains at 26.99. Figured I'd save you the research.

I'm addicted to this series since the book 2 was on sale like 3 weeks ago. I'm on book 5 now.

Pierce Brown said in an interview that one of the major streamers was working on it. I'm not sure how far along in the process they are though.

This book was so overrated in my opinion. If this was a woman protagonist every review would call her a "Mary Sue". The man character can do no wrong and is great at everything. It's basically Hunger Games but for bros
Do no wrong? Did you read the books? He makes mistakes often and some lead to deaths of main characters. He learns from his mistakes. He is often outwitted by the multiple antagonists.
