NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The bestselling author of Morning Star returns to the Red Rising universe with the thrilling sequel to Iron Gold. "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 (Best Books of the Year) He broke the chains. Then he broke the world.... A decade ago Darrow led a revolution, and laid the foundations for a new world. Now he's an outlaw. Cast out of the very Republic he founded, with half his fleet destroyed, he wages a rogue war on Mercury. Outnumbered and outgunned, is he still the hero who broke the chains? Or will he become the very evil he fought to destroy? In his darkening shadow, a new hero rises. Lysander au Lune, the displaced heir to the old empire, has returned to bridge the divide between the Golds of the Rim and Core. If united, their combined might may prove fatal to the fledgling Republic. On Luna, the embattled Sovereign of the Republic, Virginia au Augustus, fights to preserve her precious demokracy and her exiled husband. But one may cost her the other, and her son is not yet returned. Abducted by enemy agents, Pax au Augustus must trust in a Gray thief, Ephraim, for his salvation. Far across the void, Lyria, a Red refugee accused of treason, makes a desperate bid for freedom with the help of two unlikely new allies. Fear dims the hopes of the Rising, and as power is seized, lost, and reclaimed, the worlds spin on and on toward a new Dark Age.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Darrow returns as Pierce Brown's New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age. 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. Marooned far from home after a devastating defeat on the battlefields of Mercury, Darrow longs to return to his wife and sovereign, Virginia, to defend Mars from its bloodthirsty would-be conqueror Lysander. Lysander longs to destroy the Rising and restore the supremacy of Gold, and will raze the worlds to realize his ambitions. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves--Virginia, Cassius, Sevro--in order to defend the Republic. So begins Darrow's long voyage home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends will reunite, new alliances will be forged, and rivals will clash on the battlefield. Because Eo's dream is still alive--and after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

Take a tour through the mind of America's undiscovered philosopher: Pierce Timberlake.Swimmer in a Dark Sea is a dizzying ride through a dazzling array of profound concepts. Using a hybrid of narrative and essay, Timberlake analyzes the big ideas that all thoughtful people wonder about at some point in their lives.Using intimate but universally relatable moments in his life as launch points, Timberlake examines profound questions such as: Is it possible to live forever and remain sane? And human? How exactly would we adapt to immortality?What do we really mean by empathy? (And why it is not sympathy.) How and why does it intertwine our lives and bind us into a functioning society?What are the relative merits of stoicism, hedonism, and Epicureanism? Do thinkers like Freud, Nietzsche, Marcus Aurelius, Blake, and Marx, still have anything to offer us today?If it we were possible to fully embrace rationalism, what would that lead us to believe about a God, and about the origin of the universe? The basis of morality?What is the root nature of risk-taking, and why do some embrace it while others avoid it at all costs?Dealt with along the way are such topics as chaos theory, deism versus atheism, how we decide to go to war, the real differences between conservatives and liberals, the parallels between visual and political perception, the mindset of bullies, the possibility that we live in a virtual world, and why our sexuality often seems so conflicted.Several new concepts such as metaphysical quantification and spurious certainty are introduced.
