  ** 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF RED RISING, FEATURING UNIQUE GOLD FOIL COVER AND EXTRA BONUS CONTENT. **
  
  I would have lived in peace. But my enemies brought me war.
  
  The dazzling first book in the explosive global sensation from Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author Pierce Brown.
  
  Darrow is a Red, a member of humanity's lowest caste, toiling beneath the surface of Mars to make the planet liveable for future generations. Believing that his sweat and blood will create a better world for his children.
  
  But everything Darrow has been told is a lie. Humanity reached the surface long ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet, while Reds like Darrow suffer in the dirt.
  
  Driven by revenge - and the memory of lost love - Darrow will sacrifice everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power.
  
  There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies. Even if it means becoming one of them . . .

  Incredible Sci-Fi Cross Between 'Hunger Games' And 'Enders Game' Pulls It Off ― Idigital Times
  
  It has hints of Harry Potter and Hunger Games, but it is its own animal. And it is not YA. The writing is excellent and the story is better. This is one terrific fantasy book, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. ― Terry Brooks
  
  With all of the tension of The Hunger Games and heady dose of savagery that lives somewhere in the space between The Lord of the Flies and ancient Greek mythology that revels in the violent deeds of the deities of old, RED RISING is compulsively readable and exceedingly entertaining. The blend of familiar and unfailingly effective machinations that clash with the stark new reality Brown has created make this tale a must for both fans of classic sci-fi and fervent followers of new school dystopian epics. ― Fantasy Review Barn
  
  RED RISING wouldn't exist without the countless classics it takes its cues from, but this great debut builds a formidable fortress upon their familiar foundations, making such interesting alterations along the way that its piecemeal parts are essentially rendered unrecognisable. Like mankind has in the past, Pierce Brown reaches for the stars, and mostly hits that monumental mark. ― Tor.com
  
  The heart-stopping excitement of the Hunger Games meets the pulse-pounding majesty and complexity of Game of Thrones, all wrapped up in the visionary beauty and melancholy of Blade Runner... A shot of adrenalin for your imagination. ― Star Magazine
