Red Rising
by Pierce Brown
About This Book
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations.
Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks breathe life into the surface, while Darrow and Reds like him toil beneath. But Darrow is not content to live in the lies. He sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power.
Why Hunger Games Fans Will Love It
Like The Hunger Games, Red Rising features a protagonist from the oppressed class who infiltrates the elite to bring down the system from within. Darrow's transformation from miner to revolutionary warrior, combined with brutal competition and political intrigue, creates an even more intense and mature version of the themes Hunger Games fans love.
