A miner working at the heart of Mars makes a staggering discovery about the real fate of humankind in the first instalment of Brown's bestselling series – now available in a deluxe hardback edition with bonus content.
Celebrating 10 years of Red Rising! This Hodderscape Vault Edition features a beautiful foil design under the jacket, a signed letter (digital signature) and a brand new foreword by Pierce Brown.
Darrow is a Helldiver. A pioneer of Mars.
Born to slave beneath the earth so that one day, future generations might live above it.
He is a Red - humankind's lowest caste. But he has something the Golds - the ruthless ruling class - will never understand.
He has a wife he worships, a family who give him strength. He has love.
And when they take that from him, all that remains is revenge . . .
Pierce Brown's heart-pounding debut is the first book in a spectacular series that combines the drama of Game of Thrones with the epic scope of Star Wars.
