"I live for the dream that my children will be born free," she says.
"That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their
father gave them."
"I live for you," I say sadly.
Eo kisses my cheek. "Then you must live for more."
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society
of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he
and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future
generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat
will one day result in a better world for his children.
But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that
humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds
spread across the planet. Darrow--and Reds like him--are nothing more
than slaves to a decadent ruling class.
Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost
love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary
Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next
generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will be forced
to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the
best and most brutal of Society's ruling class. There, he will stop at
nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to
become one of them to do so.
