Red Rising is a 2014 science fiction novel by American author Pierce Brown and the first of the eponymous trilogy. The novel, set on a future planet Mars, follows low born miner Darrow as he infiltrates the ranks of the elite Golds.
It has been seven hundred years since mankind colonized other planets. The powerful ruling class of humans has installed a rigid and color-based social hierarchy, where the physically superior Golds at the top rule with an iron fist. Sixteen-year-old Darrow is a Red, a class of workers who toil beneath the surface of Mars mining helium-3 to terraform the planet and make it habitable. His wife Eo sings a forbidden folk tune in public as a protest against their virtual enslavement, and is arrested and hanged by Mars’ ArchGovernor, Nero au Augustus. Darrow cuts down and buries his wife’s body, a crime for which he is also hanged. However, Darrow awakes to find that he has been drugged and delivered into the hands of the Sons of Ares, a terrorist group of Reds who fight against the oppression of the “lowColors”. They have adopted the video of Eo’s song and execution as a rallying vehicle for their cause. Darrow joins the Sons when he learns that Mars was already terraformed centuries before and that the Reds have been tricked into perpetual servitude and subjugation.
