NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER •�NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR, BUZZFEED,�AND BOOKLIST •�With shades of The Hunger Games, Ender’s Game, and Game of Thrones, debut author Pierce Brown’s genre-defying epic 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.
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.
Praise for Golden Son

“Gripping . . . Both author and lead character have cranked up the emotional stakes. . . . With Golden Son, Brown avoids the sophomore slump, charging the novel with the kind of dystopia-toppling action you’d expect in a trilogy ender, not a middle volume. On virtually every level, this is a sequel that hates sequels—a perfect fit for a hero who already defies the tropes. [Grade:] A”—Entertainment Weekly
�
“Stirring . . . Comparisons to The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones series are inevitable, for this tale has elements of both.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Brown writes layered, flawed characters . . . but plot is his most breathtaking strength. . . . Every action seems to flow into the next.”—NPR
“It’s a far superior sequel, in fact: one of the rare breed of reads that improves upon its predecessor in every conceivable category. . . . In a word, Golden Son is stunning. Never mind how little we’ve seen of 2015: Among science fiction fans, it should be a shoo-in for book of the year.”—Tor.com
“Pierce Brown is a prodigy. As great as the first book of the Red Rising Trilogy is, Golden Son is even better. A wild ride full of suspense, intrigue, and serious ass-kicking bravado, it’s expertly written and emotionally engaging, with top-notch universe-building that begs for further exploration. I want more!”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Snowblind
�
“The stakes are even higher than they were in Red Rising, and the twists and turns of the story are every bit as exciting. The jaw-dropper of an ending will leave readers hungry for the conclusion to Brown’s wholly original, completely thrilling saga.”—Booklist (starred review)
�
“Dramatic . . . the rare middle book that loses almost no momentum as it sets up the final installment.”—Publishers Weekly

Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of the Month, January 2015: One of the pleasures of author Pierce Brown’s world building is the juxtaposition of the primitive and high-tech: blood feuds fought with complex weaponry, a game of truth mediated by lie-detecting scorpions, and, of course, an antiquated class system in a world where carvers can make a Red into a Gold. In Golden Son there is no shortage of deception or heroics and the action never wanes. There is no second book slump here, instead Brown amps up the tension by putting Darrow into ever greater physical and emotional conflict. Just like Red Rising, the first book in Brown's series, the end of Golden Son has me counting the days until the next (and final) book is released. --Seira Wilson

I read this as quickly as I read the first one!
By Sneaky Burrito
I read Red Rising in a matter of a few days and it was the same with Golden Son (which I picked up *immediately* after Red Rising).
A lot of the things I liked about Red Rising were present in Golden Son, as well. The raw emotion we saw in the first 20% of so of book one were here, too, although it was a little more spaced out and there wasn't quite as much of it. But every time I was becoming a little less invested in the story, there'd be one of those moments where Darrow (the POV character, if you haven't read book one) would remember why he was doing what he was doing, what he was fighting for, something about his past, etc., and I'd be pulled right back in.
I think characterization is a little uneven here, but that's the nature of any first-person POV book. Darrow is complex and intelligent and doesn't ever forget where he came from. However, he has conflicting emotions and he is most definitely NOT infallible. And he's walking a tight line -- he needs the support of his high-status (Gold) patron, but his own feelings tend towards "demokratic" (to use the spelling from the book). There are some revelations about certain characters in the book that almost make me want to go back and read Red Rising again with this additional knowledge, to see if there were subtle clues in their behavior that pointed towards future events.
One thing this book has going for it is that the villains who play main roles in the story are not one-dimensional. And you don't always know they're villains, until it's too late. Trust is a big issue here -- Darrow wants to trust people but sometimes chooses the wrong allies, sometimes shuts out people he shouldn't. But he also makes some decisions to trust people, especially people with lower social status (lets a Blue captain his ship, lets an Orange give him advice with respect to throwing off enemies, gives a Stained man a weapon traditionally used only by the nobility) that I think will be important in book three. (If you haven't read book one, various social classes have colors and pretty much everything they are allowed to do or not do is dictated by what color a person is born into. Darrow was born a Red -- a low working class -- but has been altered to appear a Gold, the ruling class.)
The weak point, I think, is that this is a very similar book to Red Rising. What was carried out on the ground with castles, among students, was transferred to ships in space. The same rivalries and many of the same characters were back. (On the plus side, the same narrative structure of defeat followed by victory followed by defeat was in place, and that really worked. Pierce Brown doesn't really ever take EVERYTHING away from his heroes, even when things are looking pretty grim. There's always some way out. I hate reading about defeats for characters I've come to care about, but I know that if I get through them, some triumph -- even a small one -- is sure to come soon. So even though the book did not end on a happy note for me -- and it was somewhat of a cliffhanger, for people who hate such things -- I have hopes for the outcome after volume three, and wish I didn't have to wait for it!)
This series is shaping up to be a rather typical hero's journey, I think. It has a fair amount in common (overall structure wise, though not with respect to individual events) with the original Star Wars trilogy. I sometimes get bored with such stories, but the writing style (present tense, too, which usually bothers me but I don't even notice it here), the emotion, the action, and the ups and downs really all worked together to keep me interested.
I would not start the series with this book. Not only will you learn so much more about the characters, the world of the story, etc., when you read about them in book one, but Red Rising is really an entertaining book in its own right and you won't want to miss out on that.

Even better than the first one
By Celebrity Readers AKA Carla Waluck
The political intrigue, outer space, the murder, the gore, the dystopian setting. I love this book. Its better than the first one. There is so much violence that is tempered with introspection.I can’t tell you how well written this book is. I loved the first one immensely and never thought for a moment that the second could be so much better. I love being wrong!
There was depth in the first book. The characters were well rounded and intense, but in this one they go deeper. We learn who is really with Darrow and how he navigates the fine line between successfully creating dissent among the political leaders and failure causing a civil uprising.
He is like an M&M. A tough hard outer shell protecting the soft vulnerable inside. And I think he is delicious. I love him for his faithfulness to his dead wife. He is constantly weighing and measuring himself, trying to make sure his choices are what Eo truly stood for. It was quite a beautiful read.
There was nothing that was left out in this book. The action scenes were spectacularly detailed. The intrigue was substantial and I could piece together the different factions that were involved. The love story was epic. EPIC I tell you. There wasn’t a lot of romance to speak of. I know it sounds confusing but you must understand this is during a time of reform and the people are capable of great love but unable to express it and become involved till their nation is at rest. That’s the caliber of characters I was reading. So brave of them to put aside their petty self interests for the great of their world, don’t ya think?
I can;t say enough about this book. If you haven’t read it and are a fan of Sci-fi/Dystopian, this is the book for you! If you can’t afford it, hit me up and I’ll see if it lets me loan it to you. Everyone should read this series!!! Can’t wait to get my greedy little hands on the next one!

Thumbs up for book two!
By John M. Vizcarra
Golden Son continues the story of Darrow, a deep-undercover agent of the low-caste Reds, who is uniquely positioned among the high-caste Golds, and is trying to sow discord in an effort to restructure the society that keeps his people as slaves. It's the second book in the Red Rising trilogy, and is as exciting as the first.
The series strikes at the fundamental core of our American independence - free will. Many stories have been told of dystopic societies that paint a worrisome future for us if we "continue down the path we're on." Most of them have oppressive regimes that all feel they are doing what is necessary to keep the peace. Look to Star Wars and The Hunger Games, to name just a few. These stories take our fundamental desire for free will and suppress it in a structure that appeals to the reader on a visceral level.
Brown does a remarkable job of playing with the reader's emotions, to the point where one takes personal offense at the content of the story. This draws the reader in and attaches themselves to the fate of the characters, willing the characters to make the right choices and make the same decisions the reader would make. You're all but cheering along with the victories, and weeping with the tragedies.
The world Brown has built is rich and expansive. Not just the planetary scale of characters, but the depth with which the society has been carefully constructed to serve the story and reflect history. There's enough for everyone to relate to from a historical perspective, and yet it's easy to become lost in the overwhelming "now" of the narrative.
Golden Son is as amazing as Red Rising; the story is relentless and engaging, if not a bit predictable. Just a bit, though. There are patterns that must be followed of course, but you'll still enjoy the ride the entire time.
