Intro
Pierce Brown is an American science fiction author who made his fame by creating the Red Rising Saga consisting of Red Rising, Golden Son, Morning Star, Iron Gold, Dark Age, and Light Bringer.
Pierce began life growing up in seven different states. He graduated from Pepperdine University, California where he studied political science and economics. He never intended to become a writer, and it wasn’t until high school he started writing.
Red Rising was published after six books and over one hundred rejections, but his space opera about the depths of human emotion, oppression and the fight for freedom has captured the hearts of fans, known lovingly as Howlers, worldwide.
Red Rising Saga
Red Rising is the thrilling first entry in the Red Rising Saga. Darrow has never seen the sky. He is a Red, a member of the lowly mining caste in the colour-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he willingly spends his life digging underground, believing his sacrifice will make the surface livable for future generations.
Then Darrow makes a horrible discovery: Darrow and the Reds have been betrayed as Humanity actually reached the surface generations ago. The Reds are slaves, in service to a decadent ruling class.
Longing for justice, driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow joins the resistance to destroy society from within.
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, Darrow will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies, even if he has to become one of them to do it.
Red Rising is well-beloved by fans, and we’re determined to create with Pierce’s blessing an edition that will both excite his Howlers, but also bring the glory of Red Rising to sci-fi fans everywhere.
