Opening Line: “It’s not just some dream, Darrow. I live for the dream that my children will be born free. That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them.”
”I live for you.” I say sadly.
She kisses my cheek. “Then you must live for more.”
Review: This fantasy, science fiction thriller is book one of a trilogy set in a futuristic, underground mining operation on the planet Mars. Generations of miners have worked to provide the energy resources needed to make the surface of mars habitable for the people of Earth, who must flee a worn out planet. The miners are Reds, the lowest group in the current society’s caste system. One of the miners, Darrow, becomes a reluctant hero, motivated by his wife, Eo, to spearhead a revolt against the current government leaders, the rich and powerful Golds.
Pierce Brown’s writing is fast-paced and action-packed. His vivid character descriptions, and intricate story development, makes his fantasy world very believable. I look forward to reading the next two books.
