Written by Pierce Brown

Narrated by Stewart Crank, Jenna Sharpe, Jon Vertullo and 8 more

"Red Rising hit the ground running and wasted no time becoming a sensation. Golden Son continues the stunning saga of Darrow, a rebel forged by tragedy, battling to lead his oppressed people to freedom.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

As a Red, Darrow grew up working the mines deep beneath the surface of Mars, enduring backbreaking labor while dreaming of the better future he was building for his descendants. But the Society he faithfully served was built on lies. Darrow’s kind have been betrayed and denied by their elitist masters, the Golds—and their only path to liberation is revolution. And so Darrow sacrifices himself in the name of the greater good for which Eo, his true love and inspiration, laid down her own life. He becomes a Gold, infiltrating their privileged realm so that he can destroy it from within.

A lamb among wolves in a cruel world, Darrow finds friendship, respect, and even love—but also the wrath of powerful rivals. To wage and win the war that will change humankind’s destiny, Darrow must confront the treachery arrayed against him, overcome his all-too-human desire for retribution—and strive not for violent revolt but a hopeful rebirth. Though the road ahead is fraught with danger and deceit, Darrow must choose to follow Eo’s principles of love and justice to free his people.

He must live for more.

I’m obsessed with this books. I don’t know if anyone told the production team, but having broken bones and having pleasure aren’t the same noises. I don’t care if you are Pink. Servo’s voice actor made everything up though, loved listening to him. And his sounds very velvety for a goblin. It really fits him. But maybe that’s my personal opinion. I like the background voice give a battle cry every now and then. Well I’m off to listen to the 2nd part.

I am amazed, the entire book had me on an emotional roller coaster and the last chapters were heart-pounding, I am simply delighted with this saga and I can't wait to read the next book. (Translated from Spanish)

How I cried in the last chapter, and I had already spoiled it for myself spectacularly. Sevro Au Barca best character. Hail Reaper. (Translated from Spanish)

The author delivers the second part of Red Rising; I was truly surprised and I even admit that while doing other activities, I was thinking about the plot of the book. I can only say that Darrow, in his eternal struggle, will pay a very high price. (Translated from Spanish)

[Lectomanija · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a piece of history!!! I was immersed and caught page after page, waiting for a breath of air, a sigh. There were very few instances when I could relieve my lungs and breathe. The pacing is truly extreme; I have never seen so much action in one place. The truth is that now I can breathe; my muscles have relaxed, but what comes next after this? Really an incredible novel ? (Translated from Spanish)

This is a reading that I highly recommend for those who enjoy dystopian fantasy. Despite the fact that I found it quite difficult to read, I really enjoyed each page and each chapter, and this book kept me very intrigued, leaving me in suspense and unsure of what would happen next. Little by little, the nature of each character and the secrets each of them holds are gradually revealed. (Translated from Spanish)

The betrayals and deaths don't stop, which keeps you on edge and waiting for what will happen next. (Translated from Spanish)
