About this listen

With shades of The Hunger Games, Ender's Game, and Game of Thrones, debut author Pierce Brown's genre-defying epic Red Rising hit the ground running and wasted no time becoming a sensation. Golden Son continues the stunning saga of Darrow, a rebel forged by tragedy, battling to lead his oppressed people to freedom from the overlords of a brutal elitist future built on lies. Now fully embedded among the Gold ruling class, Darrow continues his work to bring down Society from within.

A life-or-death tale of vengeance with an unforgettable hero at its heart, Golden Son guarantees Pierce Brown's continuing status as one of fiction's most exciting new voices.

A Superb sequel - game of thrones in space

Red rising, the first in the series was a intriguing start to this saga, hinting at a world beyond the self contained story of the institute.

Golden Son dives head first into the wider world and never lets up. A full epic of drama, war, betrayal, questionable morals, love and hope. Game of thrones in space.

Brilliantly read by Tim Gerald Reynolds too, it’s gripping from start to finish (and beyond - I’m downloading the third book now).

Tim Gerard Reynolds is golden

One of the most gripping portrayals of a cast I’ve ever heard, Tim Gerard Reynolds does credit to the characters and the story as whole. Fully recommended

I couldn't stop listening. Compelling performance

Reynolds continues to breath fire into the exploits of the Helldiver, driving the story forwards in the same compelling way he did for the first book. Gripping stuff.

Amazing 2nd book to the saga

The narrator is exceptional as always. The audiobook is a 'pageturner' and catch myself listening for hours.

Love it and can't wait for the next book. I am hooked !

Impressive

I was dubious about this story at the beginning of the first book and I find the Pierce Brown certainly stacks the odds against the main characters at the beginning of each tale, which can make it a tough start. But his skill as a writer is fantastic and the story sweeps you along so you won’t want to be listening to anything else!
Tim Gerard Reynolds is one of the best and most versatile narrator’s on audible- so this series is just simply a great package.
