Red Rising

Der er gået mere end 700 år siden Jordens befolkning begyndte at bebo andre planeter. 16-årige Darrow er en minearbejder i tunnellerne under Mars' overflade, hvor han tilhører den sociale klasse kaldet Reds. Minearbejdernes mission er at udvinde nok ædelmetaller til at menneskeracen en dag kan tæmme Mars' barske overflade. I "Red Rising" opdager Darrow en dag, at alt han er blevet fortalt er en løgn. Mars har været beboelig - og beboet! - i mange generationer af en socialklasse, der kalder sig selv for Golds. En socialklasse, der anser Darrow og minearbejderne som en form for slaver, der blot skal udnyttes og arbejdes ihjel. Med hjælp fra en mystisk gruppe rebeller, beslutter Darrow sig for at klæde sig ud som en Gold og infiltrere deres verden - for at ødelægge samfundshierakiet indefra. "Red Rising" er første bog i den fængslende science fiction-trilogi om Darrows kamp for at revolutionere det uretfærdige samfund omkring ham.

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 NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, BUZZFEED, AND 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.
