Pierce Brown The buzz for Pierce Brown's relentlessly entertaining, New York Times bestselling debut has reached a fever pitch! Channeling the readability and excitement of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games and the best of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, word of mouth--and sales--for Red Rising continue to grow. Now in trade paperback to reach an even wider audience, and to lead into the highly anticipated sequel, Golden Son (Del Rey HC, 1/13/15). Red Rising is the story of a society in a desolate future, riven by class conflict and shaken by the tremors of an impending revolution. But more than that, it's the story of Darrow--a secret revolutionary who is inspired not only by a longing for social justice, but by lost love. It's only when Darrow's beloved wife is executed by the oppressive government that he begins to question the harsh world he lives in. Recruited by an underground revolutionary cell, Darrow is given a perilous mission: infiltrate the academy that educates this elite--and become one of them. Pierce Brown is the New York Times bestselling author of Red Rising, Golden Son, and Morning Star. While trying to make it as a writer, Brown 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. He lives in Los Angeles, where he is at work on his next novel.To inquire about booking Pierce Brown for a speaking engagement, please contact the Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau at [email protected].
