Red Rising

£35.00

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

A LIMITED HARDBACK EDITION OF THE FIRST NOVEL OF PIERCE BROWN’S ICONIC NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING RED RISING SAGA. This edition features new cover artwork, illustrated slipcase, designed sprayed edges, fold-out poster and full-colour illustrated endpapers with a new map.

I would have lived in peace. But my enemies brought me war.

The dazzling first book in the explosive global sensation from Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author Pierce Brown.

Darrow is a Red, a member of humanity’s lowest caste, toiling beneath the surface of Mars to make the planet liveable for future generations. Believing that his sweat and blood will create a better world for his children.

But everything Darrow has been told is a lie. Humanity reached the surface long ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet, while Reds like Darrow suffer in the dirt.

Driven by revenge – and the memory of lost love – Darrow will sacrifice everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power.

There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies. Even if it means becoming one of them . . .
