Seven hundred years have passed since humanity has colonized the solar system. The greatest Helldiver of the Lambda Clan of Lykos. This is where we meet our hero, Darrow of Lykos. If the heat doesn’t kill you, the pitvipers that live deep in the planet might, and if they don’t, well, there’s always hitting a pocket of gas to blow you and your own straight to hell. Half a kilometer deep in the Planetary crust of Mars. Riding on the elbow of this massive mechanical arm, where the long fingers controlled and manipulated by a glove worn on the hand of our Helldiver melt the crust of the planet itself. You’re wrapped up in a suit made out of some kind of nano plastic which insulates from head to toe. As history has shown us all, the color of revolution tends to be blood red. While this book is recommended for ages 12+, there is a lot of violence. The Red Rising series is one of the best things to happen to sci-fi in years and is now often drawn in the same breath as Ender’s Game, The Hunger Games, and Game of Thrones.

From a first-person perspective, it depicts the struggle and cost of revolution set in a dystopian science fiction wrought with the cruelties we, unfortunately, find in the world.
