Pierce Brown strana 2 z 2

Darrow békében élt, de az ellenségei háborúba kényszerítették. Az Arany uralkodók felakasztották a feleségét és rabszolgasorba taszították a népét. Ő azonban nem törődött bele a sorsába, nem adta fel: mindent kockáztatva beépült az Aranyak közé, és lehetetlent nem ismerve harcolt és élt túl mindent, hogy végül elindíthassa a forradalmat, ami darabjaira szedi a marsi rendszert. Most eljött az idő, a forradalom kezdetét veszi. Pierce Brown a Vörös lázadás-trilógiával robbant be 2014-ben a sci-fibe, és a hirtelen sikerének köszönhetően mára olvasók milliói rajonganak érte a világ minden táján. A Hajnalcsillag a megkoronázása e diadalmenetnek, egyben méltó befejezése az utóbbi évek legnépszerűbb sci-fi sorozatának.

Darrow is a Helldiver, one of a thousand men and women who live in the vast caves beneath the surface of Mars, generations of people who spend their lives toiling to mine the precious elements that will allow the planet to be terraformed. Just knowing that, one day, people will be able to walk the surface of the planet is enough to justify their sacrifice. The Earth is dying, and Darrow and his people are the only hope humanity has left. Until the day Darrow learns that it is all a lie. That Mars has been habitable - and inhabited - for generations, by a class of people calling themselves the Golds. A class of people who look down at Darrow and his fellows as slave labour, to be exploited and worked to death without a second thought. Until the day Darrow, with the help of a mysterious group of rebels, disguises himself as a Gold and infiltrates their society.

Darrow je Červený; člen najnižšej kasty v spoločnosti rozdelenej podľa farieb. Rovnako ako ďalší Červení celé dni tvrdo pracuje v presvedčení, že on a jeho ľudia pripravujú povrch Marsu pre život budúcich generácií. Neprotestuje, pretože verí, že všetka krv a pot z tvrdej práce jedného dňa prinesú jeho deťom lepší život. Ale Darrowa a jeho ľudí oklamali. Čoskoro zistí, že ľudstvo už na povrchu Marsu žije celé generácie. Po celej planéte sa rozprestierajú veľké mestá a rozsiahle parky. Darrow, ako aj všetci Červení nie sú ničím iným než otrokmi dekadentnej vládnucej triedy. Vedený túžbou po pomste a spomienkou na stratenú lásku Darrow obetuje všetko, aby sa infiltroval do slávneho Inštitútu, na miesto, kde dominantná Zlatá kasta musí dokázať, že je hodná vládnutia, a kde budúce generácie ľudstva tvrdo bojujú o moc. Darrow bude musieť bojovať nielen o svoj život, ale aj o samotnú budúcnosť civilizácie, pričom súpermi mu budú najlepší a najbrutálnejší predstavitelia vládnucej triedy Spoločnosti. Nezastaví sa pred ničím, aby ich zničil, ani za cenu, že sa bude musieť stať jedným z nich.

"Brown a biztos helyett rendre a váratlant választja az Arany háborúban. Az orbitális csavarok kirántják a talajt az olvasó lába alól." (Entertainment Weekly) Az Arany háborúban folytatódik Darrow tragédia kovácsolta bosszúhadjárata: eltökélten vezeti harcba elnyomott népét a szabadságért egy hazugságokra épült elitista utópiában. Arannyá vált ő is, és belülről tervezi megdönteni a Társadalmat. Azonban nem csak leggyűlöltebb ellenségeit kell legyőznie, hanem a benne lakozó bosszúvágyat is, hogy végül erőszakos polgárháború helyett világa újjászületését hozza el. Ha a Vörös lázadás egy letehetetlenül olvasmányos, folyamatosan pörgő, végig lebilincselő kezdet volt, akkor az Arany háború egy még brutálisabb adrenalinlöket: az olvasó fék nélkül száguld a szereplőkkel a folyamatos akciójelenetek, űrharcok és politikai intrikák közt. Helyenként kegyetlen, máskor nagyon is emberi élet-halál történet a bosszúról egy felejthetetlen főszereplővel - Pierce Brownt joggal tartják az akció sci-fik egyik legnagyobb reményű új szerzőjének.

Darrow returns as Pierce Brown's New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age. The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains. But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow. Because after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.
