Why You NEED To Read Red Rising

And why has this science fiction series earned such a passionate following? In this spoiler-free introduction to Red Rising, we're exploring what makes Pierce Brown's bestselling sci-fi book series worth reading, from its fascinating worldbuilding and morally complex characters to its exploration of revolution, power, honour, violence and humanity. Set in a future where humanity has colonised the solar system, Red Rising follows Darrow, a young Red miner living beneath the surface of Mars. Raised to believe that his people are preparing the planet for humanity's future, Darrow discovers a horrifying truth: Mars has already been colonised, and the Reds have been enslaved by a society built upon a rigid hierarchy of Colours. But what makes Red Rising so special isn't simply its dystopian setting or its revolutionary premise. It's the people caught within it. From Darrow's struggle against the Society to the complicated ideals of the Golds and characters like Cassius au Bellona, Pierce Brown creates a world where honour and cruelty coexist, violence has consequences, and even the most admirable characters are capable of terrible things.
