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.

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."

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!

The story is so well written, and coupled with Tim Gerard Reynolds narration, it’s an awesome combination.
I was not initially a fan of the multiple voice actors in the prior two books, but after multiple relistenings of the whole series, they grew on me. That being said, all you people complaining that they should have had more than one voice narrating. Take your Bloody Damn opinions and shove them up your fart hole, as Sevro would say. Tim Gerard Reynolds is an artist, and did an excellent job as Darrow, Lysander, and Lyria.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to start this one over again to see what I may have missed the first read through.

Good story, miss the VA’s

The story was overall pretty excellent but I really miss Moira Quirk, James Langton and Rendah Heywood.

Why the change in voice?

Farrows voice change in the beginning was off-putting but about 5-6 hours is a bit better. Great story!

Another masterpiece!

Another great work by Pierce Brown, only flaw in the audio version is the voices used for the different characters altered slightly from the previous books.

Great story, great addition to the saga.

One of the best books in the series.

Perfect bounce back from the dark age. This has become one of my favorite sci-fi series of all time.

Best book in the series

Loved the series, but didn't really like the second half of Dark Age. This book instantly hooked me back and I enjoyed it the whole way through

Lower quality audio?

TGR was great (as usual) but his microphone or something was worse than his previous recordings in this series.

Return to Glory

This is by far my favorite of the sequel series. While I appreciated the efforts of the voice ensemble cast for the previous two books, I am relieved that we are back to a single voice actor in Tim Gerard Reynolds.
