They were, they believed, mankind's last hope. Until Darrow discovered that it was all a lie, and that the Red were nothing more than unwitting slaves to an elitist ruling class, the Golds, who had been living on Mars in luxury for generations. In RED RISING, Darrow infiltrated Gold society, to fight in secret for a better future for his people. Now fully embedded amongst the Gold ruling class, Darrow continues his dangerous work to bring them down from within. It's a journey that will take him further than he's ever been before - but is Darrow truly willing to pay the price that rebellion demands?A life-or-death tale of vengeance with an unforgettable hero at its heart, Golden Son guarantees Pierce Brown's continuing status as one of fiction's most exciting new voices.

But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend. Marooned far from home after a devastating defeat on the battlefields of Mercury, Darrow longs to return to his wife and sovereign, Virginia, to defend Mars from its bloodthirsty would-be conqueror Lysander. Lysander longs to destroy the Rising and restore the supremacy of Gold, and will raze the worlds to realize his ambitions. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves—Virginia, Cassius, Sevro—in order to defend the Republic. So begins Darrow’s long voyage home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends will reunite, new alliances will be forged, and rivals will clash on the battlefield. Because Eo’s dream is still alive—and after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.Don’t miss any of Pierce Brown’s Red Rising Saga: RED RISING • GOLDEN SON • MORNING STAR • IRON GOLD • DARK AGE • LIGHT BRINGER

Darrow is a Helldiver, one of a thousand men and women who live in the vast caves beneath the surface of Mars, generations of people who spend their lives toiling to mine the precious elements that will allow the planet to be terraformed. Just knowing that, one day, people will be able to walk the surface of the planet is enough to justify their sacrifice. The Earth is dying, and Darrow and his people are the only hope humanity has left. Until the day Darrow learns that it is all a lie. That Mars has been habitable - and inhabited - for generations, by a class of people calling themselves the Golds. A class of people who look down at Darrow and his fellows as slave labour, to be exploited and worked to death without a second thought. Until the day Darrow, with the help of a mysterious group of rebels, disguises himself as a Gold and infiltrates their society.

Darrow er Rød og hører dermed til den laveste kaste i et samfund, hvor befolkningen er delt op i farver. Hele sit liv har han arbejdet som slave i minerne under Mars’ overflade. Et arbejde som ikke bare er hårdt og farligt, men som også viste sig at være bygget på en løgn. De Røde er blevet holdt nede af samfundets top – de Gyldne – i flere århundreder, og nu er revolutionen den eneste vej til frihed. Darrow slutter sig til en oprørsgruppe, giver sig ud for at være Gylden og skal nu infiltrere det Gyldne Rige indefra. Han er som et lam blandt ulve. Alligevel finder han venskab og respekt – endda kærlighed – blandt de Gyldne. Men han finder også en voldsom vrede blandt sine rivaler. Hvis Darrow skal gøre sig håb om at vinde den krig, som vil ændre menneskehedens skæbne, må han konfrontere det forræderi, han står overfor.

”Jeg lever for drømmen om, at mine børn fødes i frihed,” siger hun. ”At de kan være dem, de vil være. At de kan eje den jord, deres far gav dem.” ”Jeg lever for dig,” siger jeg sørgmodigt. Hun kysser mig på kinden. ”Du må leve for mere.” Jorden er død, og Jordens befolkning forsøger nu at gøre Mars beboelig. Darrow er minearbejder og Rød – den laveste kaste i et samfund, hvor befolkningen er delt op i farver. Ligesom de andre minearbejdere har Darrow aldrig set himlen. De arbejder hver eneste dag dybt nede i Mars’ undergrund for at skaffe det grundstof, som skal gøre overfladen beboelig for mennesker. Men en dag går det op for Darrow, at det hele er en løgn. Mars har været beboelig – og beboet – i generationer af den kaste, der kalder sig de Gyldne. På Mars’ overflade har de Gyldne i århundreder nydt livet, mens de har holdt de Røde som slaver i undergrunden. Det får Darrow til at slutte sig til en gruppe af oprørere. Tiden er inde til RØD OPSTAND.

"The last two entries into the Sons of Ares had Fitchner on his heels. In the first, he was driven by love and desperation to save his wife Brynn before her execution at the hands of the Board of Quality Control. He failed, but rescued his child. In the second entry, Fitchner went head to head with both of his early allies--Arturius and, in a way, Quicksilver. His wrath left Arturius dead and setback Quicksilver's dream of expanding exploration and human habitation to other stars. In Forbidden Song, Ares may not always be in control. But he has a plan, and it's a doozy."--Provided by publisher.
