Title: Red Rising
Series: Red Rising
Number: 1
Author: Pierce Brown
Summary: Set on a colour-coded, heavily stratified future Mars, the story follows Darrow, a low-class “Red” miner who discovers that his planet has long been terraformed and civilised, while his people live in underground slavery to feed the luxury of the ruling “Gold” class. After a devastating personal tragedy, Darrow infiltrates the elite Institute to bring down the oppressive regime from the inside. It is a high-octane blend of space opera, political intrigue, and dystopian rebellion.
