Science fiction meets dystopian Fascist Martians whose self-image is based on the classical Roman deities. Add in: the Hunger Games. Stir. You've got the recipe for Red Rising.

Fans of fast-paced books with extraordinary emotional highs and lows will devour this tale of a low-born man named Darrow who discovers his whole worldview is based on a lie. In an attempt to avenge the wrongs done to his family, he goes to almost unbelievable lengths to overthrow the evil Fascist bastards in power.
