About this listen

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.

Don’t miss any of Pierce Brown’s Red Rising Saga:

RED RISING • GOLDEN SON • MORNING STAR • IRON GOLD • DARK AGE • LIGHT BRINGER

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."

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.

Fantastic

Another masterpiece

I wasn't sure what to expect from this, and I didn't expect what I got. I loved the earlier books in this series and this has probably been one of the better ones. Exciting throughout, as usual never sure what is going to happen as we're taken on twists and turns from cover to cover. Absolutely brilliant.

Another set of exciting twists and turns

I’m really going to miss these books! I feel like the finale is going to quite traumatic!! multiple listen throughs now. Will have to start again for the 7th time when the next book is released. I’m so glad Pierce went back to just Tim as the narrator. While multiple view points works for some stories it didn’t really work in the last book just because we had already created a connection to the characters voices through Tim’s voice. However 4 star for performance it felt like Tim had forgotten the voices he created and took a while to get any flow was very hard to decipher Daro or lysander early on. And Sevros voice was not as recognisable to begin with either. Got better as it went on though.

I need the next book like now!!

I am so glad that Pierce Brown chose to only cast Tim Gerrard Reynolds as narrator.

TGR is phenomenal!

I don’t like leaving reviews, not the kind that go over the story or act like I am a professional critic, there is no such thing. I don’t like most reviews telling everything they didn’t like or even like. I enjoyed this series and would definitely recommend

Narrator is amazing

I have listened to over 130 books in the past several years, from all best selling and most popular books from genres in crime, action, sci-if, fantasy, horror and thriller, and I can categorically say than there is no other book/series that I have been more captivated by or felt as much love (or hate) for the characters as the Red Rising series.
I understand that there will have to be a decent size budget to do this justice but this MUST at some stage be turned into a live action TV series.

The greatest series of books in its genre in the last 10 years

Great listen and beautifully presented story, back to the best of the series, very enjoyable

Return to highest quality story

This was an amazing continuation, at a point where many writers would slump in keeping a book fresh, this delivers on the same thrills and heartbreak that I loved in the series previously entries.

The return to a single narrator was a bit jarring at first, but I really enjoyed the performance and by the end I actually began to realise that I prefer the single narrator.

An amazing continuation of this Sci-Fi Epic
