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

“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 miner and a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he digs all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of the planet livable for future generations. Darrow has never seen the sky.
 
Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better future for his children.
 
But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity already reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks 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 joins a resistance group in order to infiltrate the ruling class and destroy society from within. He will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express

Anca Trasnea a dat nota:

Urzeala Tronurilor întâlnește Jocurile Foamei...în spațiu! Cam așa aș putea descrie pe scurt acțiunea din Red Rising, de Pierce Brown. Nu am fost o mare fană a cărților SF pana am dat de această serie, și pot spune cu mâna pe inimă că m-am îndrăgostit cu adevărat de acest gen. Pierce Brown creează o poveste extraordinară, cu personaje complexe și intrigi neașteptate. Și chiar dacă terminologia folosită în general în genul SF, sau principiile pe baza cărora funcționează tehnologia universului creat, sunt greu de înțeles în multe opere, poate chiar ușor intimidante, Brown reușește să creeze o lume ancorată în realitate și ușor digerabilă pentru toți cititorii. Am rămas profund impresionată de ușurința cu care întâmplările din carte ar putea deveni realitate în scurt timp, dacă omenirea continuă ascensiunea tehnologică în același ritm alert ca și până acum. Brown nu irosește absolut niciun cuvânt. Lupta pentru supraviețuire a personajului principal, Darrow O Lykos, ne este dezvăluită încă din primul capitol al primei cărți, și va continua pe tot parcursul trilogiei. Condus de răzbunare, Darrow va cunoaște ce înseamnă adevărata durere, amara trădare, dar și prietenia, poate chiar iubirea, venită din partea persoanelor care trebuiau să îi fie dușmani. Oare va reuși Darrow să dea la o parte ura și prejudecățile pentru a avea o viață normală, sau adevărații săi dușmani vor împiedica acest lucru și îl vor obliga să preia un rol pe care nimeni nu și l-ar dori, sacrificându-și însăși propria persoană? Vă las pe voi să aflați. Recomand din tot sufletul această trilogie, precum si continuarea!

Notă biografică

Pierce Brown spent his childhood building forts and setting traps for cousins in the woods of six states and the deserts of two. Graduating from college in 2010, he fancied the idea of continuing his studies at Hogwarts. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a magical bone in body. So while trying to make it as a writer, he worked as a manager of social media at a startup tech company, toiled as a peon on the Disney lot at ABC Studios, did his time as an NBC page, and gave sleep deprivation a new meaning during his stint as an aide on a U.S. Senate campaign. Now he lives Los Angeles, where he scribbles tales of spaceships, wizards, ghouls, and most things old or bizarre.

"NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER
"Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow."--Scott Sigler
" "
Pierce Brown's relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins and "Ender's Game "by Orson Scott Card.
""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 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 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.
