Red Rising Book Synopsis Via
Amazon:
Darrow is a Red, a member of the
lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he
works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars
livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that
his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.
But Darrow and his kind have been
betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago.
Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like
him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.
Inspired by a longing for
justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to
infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold
caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for
power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of
civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class. There,
he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has
to become one of them to do so.
