‘Red Rising’s’ Deluxe Slipcase Edition truly stands out as a magnificent collectible. Unlike many deluxe hardcovers that simply offer sprayed edges, illustrated endpapers, or foil-stamped art, this edition elevates the experience. It boasts a stunning full-color illustrated slipcase, complete with a powerful quote from the novel on the back. The front and back covers showcase exclusive character art, set against vibrant red and white backdrops.
Beyond these unique additions, it also includes the beloved features of deluxe editions: beautifully sprayed page edges, where various shades of red blend seamlessly for a distinctive aesthetic, and richly illustrated endpapers featuring full-color maps of the solar system. An exquisite fold-out poster is also included, depicting the formidable military academy on Mars where Darrow and his peers train—a high-tech fortress nestled amidst canyons, mirroring its description in the book.
This Deluxe Slipcase Edition spans 400 pages, slightly exceeding the 382-page standard hardcover, and with its slipcase, measures approximately 9.88 x 6.63 x 1.5 inches, offering a substantial feel without being overly cumbersome.

Catch up on Pierce’s Brown Red Rising Series
The sci-fi series currently has six novels and a graphic novel prequel.
The ‘Red Rising’ series currently boasts six published novels, with the eagerly anticipated seventh and final installment, ‘Red God,’ expected in 2026. Set centuries into a dystopian future, the saga begins with Darrow, a low-caste miner who infiltrates the ruling elite to spark a revolution from within. The series is often lauded alongside other epic dystopian tales like ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘The Ender Saga.’
The first three books, forming the original ‘Red Rising Trilogy,’ are narrated exclusively by Darrow. A paperback box set of this trilogy is available for $37.66 (originally $54). Books 4-6, known as the ‘Iron Gold Trilogy,’ expand the narrative to include multiple first-person perspectives, with Darrow as one of four narrators. All six novels are available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle ebook formats. The critically acclaimed audiobook versions, narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds, also come highly recommended.
These character-driven sci-fi novels are celebrated for their relentless pace, thrilling action, unexpected twists, and high-stakes drama. While the first book is a manageable 400 pages, later installments, such as ‘Iron Gold’ (Book 5) at 800 pages and ‘Light Bringer’ (Book 6) over 700 pages, are substantial reads. However, the captivating story makes the time investment incredibly worthwhile, and with ‘Red God’ still some time away, now is the perfect opportunity to dive into the series.
