Wild horses could not tear me away from this one.About the Book Born a lowly Red in the mines of Mars, Darrow lost his beloved wife to the treacherous Gold overlords. I am tremendously excited by the news that Brown will be be publishing a seventh book in the series and I will be reading it and Light Bringer as soon as they come out.

It will also appeal to those who enjoy the visceral violence, sexuality and general societal conflict found in fantasy series such as George R. I am a huge fan of Brown’s Red Rising series and strongly recommend it as one of the best new science fiction series to have come out over the past several decades. Per aspera ad astra is a latin phrase meaning “through hardships to the stars” and also the motto of the Gold caste in the Red Rising series. This week Brown revealed on his Facebook page that a seventh is also planned.

A sixth, Light Bringer, is scheduled to be released in May 2023.

Since publication of the original Red Rising book in 2014, Brown has published a total of five in the series, including Red Rising, Golden Son, Morning Star, Iron Gold and Dark Age. Inevitably, the series is about revolution in a society whose privilege and entitlement has created slave classes that, like Spartacus in the ancient Roman order, must revolt in order to secure even a modicum of freedom. At the top of the pecking order are the glorious Golds, who rule this space empire with an iron fist occasionally cloaked in a velvet glove.įurther down the pecking order are somewhat privileged castes such as Silvers, Coppers and Blues, while at the bottom of the Society’s pyramid are the Reds, the ultimate subservient worker class. In Red Rising, Homo Sapiens has been genetically shaped into a series of derivative species order by colour. The Red Rising series is a series of science fiction novels set in a futuristic Solar System and strongly influenced by the ancient Roman empire, complete with all of its glory, martial vigour and cultural richness, but also deeply tainted by the corruption and vice that inevitably led the Western Roman Empire to fall. News Science fiction author Pierce Brown has announced that he will publish a seventh book in the Red Rising series, entitled Red God.
