NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pierce Brown’s relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card.

Red Rising ascends above a crowded dys­topian field.”—USA Today

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR—
Entertainment Weekly, BuzzFeed, Shelf Awareness

“I live for the dream that my children will be born free,” she says. “That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them.”
“I live for you,” I say sadly.
Eo kisses my cheek. “Then you must live for more.”


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 toils willingly, trusting 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 lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.

Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow 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.  He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

Praise for Red Rising

“[A] spectacular adventure . . . one heart-pounding ride . . . Pierce Brown’s dizzyingly good debut novel evokes The Hunger Games, Lord of the Flies, and Ender’s Game. . . . [Red Rising] has everything it needs to become meteoric.”Entertainment Weekly

“Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow.”—Scott Sigler

Red Rising is a sophisticated vision. . . . Brown will find a devoted audience.”Richmond Times-Dispatch

    Started out pretty engaging, was able to look past the story’s flaws. But then it changed into something completely different and it loses me. The world building gets too much too quickly. DNF at 38%
  • Incredible Storytelling

    I was always an avid reader and had fallen into a bit of a reading slump over the past few years. This book series changed that I could not put it down. Will now be one of my favorite worlds ever built. I’m making my partner read it now because I told him this book will be on my mind for the rest of my life. Highly recommend.

    This is the first book I’ve read in at least a decade, and it’s been a very welcome change from TikTok or social media. If you’re looking to get back into reading pick this mf up, I’m 28 years old and a heavy equipment mechanic, most people don’t exactly look at me and think “oh yeah that dude reads books in his free time” so if you’re like me, and you wanna branch out of your comfort zone and try something new, grab this one for sure. It’ll grab you right back.
  • Perfect

    Honestly a good read story engulfed me from the start. Really picked up as the chapters went on. I look forward to immersing deeper in this story. I’m intrigued
  • Haven’t read a book in years

    Deciding to read a book after not having read in years is audacious. At least I think it is, but man this was fire. Each part felt dope af and Darrow just the goat. Also the whole institute was peak. Pax the goat too tho. Even though it’s a sci fi it’s pretty much a medieval story having politics with sci fi elements. Okay and finally Sevro is actually the most goated.
  • Fantastic opener to the series
