About this audiobook

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.

Ratings and reviews

The sound quality of this audio book is trash compared to the previous books. It sounds like it was recorded through a tin can. The single narrator doesn't bother me, but the garbage audio quality is worse than free open-source audiobooks by a mile. Embarrassing product from Media Recording Books. Absolutely shameful. The book is excellent, but the audio quality is completely unacceptable.

I've cried more because of this book series than any other event in my life. Thanks, Peirce Brown.

best book of the series. pierce brown is a genius!
