Review
Praise for Dark Age“[Pierce] Brown’s plots are like a depth charge of nitromethane dropped in a bucket of gasoline. His pacing is 100 percent him standing over it all with a lit match and a smile, waiting for us to dare him to drop it.”—NPR“An epic story of rebellion, social unrest, and sacrifice.”—Orlando Sentinel“Much like A Song of Ice and Fire’s George R. R. Martin, Brown is an author who is interested in exploring the consequences of his protagonist’s actions. Revolution doesn’t come without a price and no one can stay a hero forever.”—The Mary SuePraise for Iron Gold“Complex, layered . . . mature science fiction existing within the frame of blazing space opera . . . done in a style [that] borders on Shakespearean.”—NPR“[A] thoughtful blend of action, intrigue, and prosaic human drama.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)Praise for Morning Star“A page-turning epic filled with twists and turns.”—Booklist (starred review)Praise for Golden Son“In a word, Golden Son is stunning. Among science fiction fans, it should be a shoo-in for book of the year.”—TordotcomPraise for Red Rising“[A] spectacular adventure . . . one heart-pounding ride . . . Pierce Brown’s dizzyingly good debut novel evokes The Hunger Games, Lord of the Flies, and Ender’s Game.”—Entertainment Weekly
