'[Red Rising] has everything it needs to become meteoric' Entertainment Weekly on Red Rising
I'm still playing games. This is just the deadliest yet.
Darrow is a rebel forged by tragedy.
For generations, he and his fellow Reds toiled beneath the surface of Mars to make the planet inhabitable, dreaming of a better future for their descendants. But Darrow's world was built on a lie, told by the Gold ruling caste so they could live on Mars in luxury.
Fired by hatred, Darrow infiltrated Gold society to fight in secret for his people. A lamb among wolves, he has found friendship, respect, and even love - but also the wrath of powerful rivals.
Darrow journeys down a road fraught with danger and deceit. But can he pay the price rebellion demands?
The stunning second book in the explosive global sensation from Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author Pierce Brown.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Misdirection and chaos mark the twisty second book of Brown's SF trilogy (after Red Rising), set mostly on a near-future Mars divided between the ruling Golds and the peons called Reds. Red-born Darrow has been recruited by radicals, disguised as one of the elite, and sent to spark a revolution, but Brown makes it clear (often through scenes of mopey self-reflection) that Darrow's not suited to the task. As a sleeper agent, he is forced to manipulate both friend and foe, a burden described vividly and to great effect. Brown shows everything organically, from the Roman influences on the culture to the exciting potential hidden in both halves of society. Dramatic battles with a real sense of loss, and a final chapter that slams into both Darrow and the reader, make this the rare middle book that loses almost no momentum as it sets up the final installment.
