“Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow.”—Scott Sigler
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
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 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.
About Pierce Brown
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 his 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.
