NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pierce Brown’s explosive debut delivers a heart-pounding blend of rebellion, sacrifice, and brutal competition that fans of The Hunger Games and Ender’s Game won’t be able to put down.

Darrow is a Red—the lowest caste in a color-coded future where humanity has colonized Mars. He toils deep beneath the planet’s surface, mining helium-3 to terraform the world above, believing his sacrifice will create a better future for generations to come. But when Darrow discovers that the surface has been habitable for centuries—that he and his people are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class—everything changes.

Fueled by grief and a burning desire for justice, Darrow infiltrates the Institute, the brutal training ground where the elite Gold caste forges its future leaders. To destroy the system from within, he must become the very thing he hates, competing in a savage contest where alliances shift like sand and only the ruthless survive.

This is where the revolution begins.

Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow.

A story of vengeance, warfare and the quest for power... reminiscent of The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones.

A top-notch debut novel... Red Rising is a sophisticated vision of a future world that rivals Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games.

Pierce Brown's empire-crushing debut is a sprawling vision... [He] plots the twists and turns with precision.

A spectacular adventure... one heart-pounding ride... Pierce Brown's dizzyingly good debut novel evokes The Hunger Games, Lord of the Flies, and Ender's Game.

Reminiscent of Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games... a mix of Spartacus, Gladiator, and Dune.

Fast-paced, gripping, well-written—the sort of book you cannot put down... I couldn't stop reading.

Dramatic... fast-paced... A choice addition to a genre that has exploded in popularity.
