The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people. ITW THRILLER AWARD FINALIST - " achievement is in creating an uncomfortably familiar world of flaw, fear, and promise."- Entertainment Weeklyĭarrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. Now comes the exhilarating next chapter in the Red Rising Saga: Morning Star. Golden Son changed the game and took the story of Darrow to the next level. A shot of adrenalin for your imagination.#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Red Rising thrilled readers and announced the presence of a talented new author. The heart-stopping excitement of the Hunger Games meets the pulse-pounding majesty and complexity of Game of Thrones, all wrapped up in the visionary beauty and melancholy of Blade Runner. Like mankind has in the past, Pierce Brown reaches for the stars, and mostly hits that monumental mark. RED RISING wouldn't exist without the countless classics it takes its cues from, but this great debut builds a formidable fortress upon their familiar foundations, making such interesting alterations along the way that its piecemeal parts are essentially rendered unrecognisable.
The blend of familiar and unfailingly effective machinations that clash with the stark new reality Brown has created make this tale a must for both fans of classic sci-fi and fervent followers of new school dystopian epics. With all of the tension of The Hunger Games and heady dose of savagery that lives somewhere in the space between The Lord of the Flies and ancient Greek mythology that revels in the violent deeds of the deities of old, RED RISING is compulsively readable and exceedingly entertaining.
This is one terrific fantasy book, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. The writing is excellent and the story is better. It has hints of Harry Potter and Hunger Games, but it is its own animal. Incredible Sci-Fi Cross Between 'Hunger Games' And ' Enders Game' Pulls It Off * Idigital Times * RED RISING is what The Hunger Games should have been. Pierce Brown's relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Pierce offers a Hollywood-ready story with plenty of action and thrills * Publishers Weekly *
