Darrow returns as Pierce Brown's New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age.
"Brown's plots are like a depth charge of nitromethane dropped in a bucket of gasoline. His pacing is 100% him standing over it all with a lit match and a smile, waiting for us to dare him to drop it."—NPR, on Dark Age
"The measure of a man is not the fear he sows in his enemies. It is the hope he gives his friends."—Virginia au Augustus

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.

        Tim Gerard Reynolds returns with another installment in the rich sci-fi saga Red Rising. Eight months after DARK AGE, Darrow and his team defend Mars against Lysander, a force working against the Rising. Throughout his mission, Darrow must re-form long-forgotten relationships and create new alliances though he longs to return home to his family. Reynolds's expert performance provides the charisma necessary for many of the diplomatic scenes to work. Fans will rejoice at long-awaited reunions, all performed with care. The dialogue is well paced and delivered with the right amount of emotion. Fans of Red Rising will find Reynolds's delivery just as passionate as the writing. Overall, Reynolds ensures that this installment is another robust addition to the series. G.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine

        Still reeling from the defeat on the battlefields of Mercury, Darrow O'Lykos finds himself a galaxy away from his wife and sovereign, Virginia au Augustus. Without her husband, Virginia is left to defend Mars from a collection of old and new dangers that could destroy Darrow's legacy and restore the oppressive color-coded caste system. However, all is not lost, because Darrow, once enslaved but now a breaker of chains, discovers hope within old friends and new alliances. Brown's robust and energetic writing style drops readers into a galaxy exhausted by conflict, with characters empathetically portrayed as victims in a war of attrition. Fans of Tim Gerard Reynolds, who brilliantly narrated the initial "Red Rising" trilogy, will rejoice in his crisp and capable narration. However, devotees of the subsequent full-cast installments (Iron Gold and Dark Age) may view Reynolds's solo narration as a downgrade. VERDICT Brimming with Brown's cinematically described action and complex, layered characters, this audiobook will appeal to science fiction fans on a scale that matches Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn and George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series.--Andy Myers
