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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Until the day Darrow, with the help of a mysterious group of rebels, disguises himself as a Gold and infiltrates their society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePierce offers a Hollywood-ready story with plenty of action and thrills * Publishers Weekly *\u003cbr\u003ePierce Brown's relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games\u003c\/i\u003e by Suzanne Collins and \u003ci\u003eEnder's Game\u003c\/i\u003e by Orson Scott Card. * Rising Shadow *\u003cbr\u003eRED RISING is what \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games\u003c\/i\u003e should have been. * Fiction Vortex *\u003cbr\u003eIncredible Sci-Fi Cross Between\u003ci\u003e 'Hunger Games'\u003c\/i\u003e And '\u003ci\u003eEnders Game' \u003c\/i\u003ePulls It Off * Idigital Times *\u003cbr\u003eIt has hints of \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHunger Games\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 *\u003cbr\u003eWith all of the tension of \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games\u003c\/i\u003e and heady dose of savagery that lives somewhere in the space between \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Flies\u003c\/i\u003e 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 *\u003cbr\u003eRED 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 *\u003cbr\u003eThe 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 *","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47836958916951,"sku":"9781444759075","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781444759075.jpg?v=1710386636","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/morning-star-9781444759075","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
