Red rising

£20.00

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.

Description

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.

READERS LOVE RED RISING

‘A ridiculously good book with complex world-building, riveting characters, and a crazy sci-fi space school. What more could you want in a story?’ ?????

‘What an intense, visceral, twisty story. There’s a lot more of Lord of the Flies here than Hunger Games or Ender and it just builds and builds to a heck of a conclusion’ ?????

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