Who is Pierce Brown?

Pierce Brown, born in 1988, is an American science fiction author whose career has been one sustained act of world-building: the Red Rising saga. It opened with Red Rising in 2014 and has marched on through Golden Son (2015), Morning Star (2016), Iron Gold (2018), Dark Age (2019) and Light Bringer (2023), with a six-issue prequel comic series, Red Rising: Sons of Ares, published along the way in 2015.

Committing a career to a single universe is a gamble few writers take, and the saga’s steady decade-long expansion suggests it has paid off.

Pierce Brown in audiobooks

Long series are what audio was made for, and our catalogue covers most of the Red Rising run, from Golden Son through to Light Bringer, including a dramatised adaptation of Dark Age for listeners who enjoy that treatment. These are books built to be heard in sequence, each instalment deepening the same universe.

For UK listeners after a serious science fiction commitment – dozens of hours of connected story rather than a one-off – Brown’s saga is among the most complete options on our shelves. Settle in for the long haul; that is what it was designed for.
