Red Rising. Book 1 Hodder & Stoughton (370609668)

Pierce Brown’s heart-pounding and high-octane debut is the first book in a spectacular series that combines the drama of Game of Thrones with the epic scope of Star Wars. Darrow is a Helldiver. A pioneer of Mars. Born to slave beneath the earth so that one day, future generations might live above it. He is a Red – humankind’s lowest caste. But he has something the Golds – the ruthless ruling class – will never understand. He has a wife he worships, a family who give him strength. He has love. And when they take that from him, all that remains is revenge . . . > ‘Pierce Brown’s empire-crushing debut is a sprawling vision . . .
