The next novel in the unforgettable RED RISING trilogy.
Pierce Brown is the author of Red Rising, the first installment in a science fiction trilogy. Though Brown was born in Denver, Colorado, his origins are a little more diverse, having called seven states home (Colorado, North Carolina, Arizona, Iowa, Texas, Washington, and California). He now lives in Los Angeles.
Before becoming a full-time writer, Brown spent time working as an executive aide on a U.S. Senate Campaign, a script runner at ABC, a freelance web producer, and eventually an NBC Page. His degree from Pepperdine University is in Economics and Political Science.

Pulls It Off

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.

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.

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.

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.
