Morning Star: Red Rising Series 3 by Pierce Brown (English) Paperback Book

Description: Morning Star by Pierce Brown The unputdownable third book in the Red Rising series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Darrow is a Helldiver, one of a thousand men and women who live in the vast caves beneath the surface of Mars, generations of people who spend their lives toiling to mine the precious elements that will allow the planet to be terraformed. Just knowing that, one day, people will be able to walk the surface of the planet is enough to justify their sacrifice. The Earth is dying, and Darrow and his people are the only hope humanity has left. Until the day Darrow learns that it is all a lie. That Mars has been habitable - and inhabited - for generations, by a class of people calling themselves the Golds. A class of people who look down at Darrow and his fellows as slave labour, to be exploited and worked to death without a second thought. Until the day Darrow, with the help of a mysterious group of rebels, disguises himself as a Gold and infiltrates their society. Notes The final story in the sci-fi trilogy which will appeal to fans of Enders Game and The Hunger Games. Follows on from Red Rising and Golden Son. Back Cover [quote] Darrow is the Reaper of Mars.

In facing a godlike, ruthless enemy, he must call on every last ounce of strength to prove that loyalty, friendship - and love - are a more powerful than any coldhearted machine of war. He has been first Red, then Gold. Now, he must transcend them all. He must become the hero his people believe he is. You could call [Pierce] Brown science fictions best-kept secret.
