Summary

Darrow returns as Pierce Brown’s New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to 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.

Critic reviews

"Tim Gerard Reynolds returns with another installment in the rich sci-fi saga Red Rising.... 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."

Great story looking forward to the finale

Great development of characters, great duels, ends with a great potential finale

I personally prefer the different voice actors as it was easier to tell the difference between Darrow and Lysander but overall voice performance is excellent

The greatest writer that has ever lived.

I enjoyed every minute of reading and listening to your book. I could not put my audio book and book down. I cannot wait for the next book. I wish I could shake your hand. In appreciation because I am very humbled by you talent. If there is a film I wish to be in even if I am in the crowd. Well done. I cried when Casius died. That is how good your is. I feel like I am part of the family or team. I love it.

Bloody Damn

I just can't get enough of this series and I'm gutted I have to wait for the next one. Tim is the best narrator of any book I've listened to on here. The story is 10/10 as always. I'm not sure what I'll do with myself when it's all over.

Wow!

came across Red Rising by mistake and so glad I did, I've listened to all 6 books one after the other, couldn't get enough. the writing, plot, storyline, twists and turns, characters and the reader are all first class. was almost in tears having to wait for the last book. You won't be disappointed

Fantastic

Brilliant simply brilliant

I read in another review that Tim Gerard Reynolds (TGR) could not pull off the different voices, nothing could be further from the truth.

In my opinion audio books are made by their narrators, specially when it’s a series, it’s like a warm blanket it’s even down to the way names are pronounced. TGR makes the red rising books.

So I hope that Pierce Brown makes the decision to re-record Iron Gold and Dark Age with TGR as sole narrator while we wait for Red God.

It wouldn’t matter having different narrators if there was no cross over, but it just doesn’t work when you have anyone other than TGR voicing Sevro for example.

Mr Brown please listen and re-record because IG and DA simply isn’t the same without Tim.
