Untitled Pierce Brown 3

Das fulminante Finale der New York Times-Bestsellertrilogie Um eine unmenschliche und grausame Gesellschaft zu stürzen, ist der Minenarbeiter Darrow selbst zum Goldenen, zum Mitglied der verhassten Oberschicht, geworden. Doch jetzt wurde sein Geheimnis entdeckt und er schwebt in tödlicher Gefahr. Wenn er sein Ziel erreichen will, muss er alles riskieren. (lib)

Band 2 der New-York-Times-BestsellertrilogieImmer war Darrow stolz darauf, als Minenarbeiter auf dem Mars den Planeten zu erschließen. Bis er herausfand, dass die Oberschicht, die Goldenen, längst in Saus und Braus leben und alle anderen ausbeuten. Unter Lebensgefahr schloss er sich dem Widerstand an und ließ sich selbst zum Goldenen verwandeln. Nun lebt er mitten unter seinen Feinden und versucht die ungerechte Gesellschaft aus ihrer Mitte heraus zum Umsturz zu bringen. Doch womit Darrow nicht gerechnet hat: auch unter den Goldenen findet er Freundschaft, Respekt und sogar Liebe. Zumindest so lange ihn niemand verrät. Und der Verrat lauert überall.

Der Schnitter ist eine Legende, eher ein Mythos als ein Mensch: der Retter der Welten, der Anführer des Aufstandes, der Sprenger der Ketten. Und doch ist der Schnitter ein Mensch: Darrow, geboren auf der roten Erde des Mars, Ehemann, Vater und Freund. Einst brauchten die Welten den Schnitter, doch nun brauchen sie Darrow. Denn nach dem dunklen kommt ein neues Zeitalter - ein Zeitalter des Lichts, des Triumphs und der Hoffnung.

Darrow, the narrator, works in the mines on Mars, a life of drudgery and subservience. He's a member of the Reds, an "inferior" class, though he's happily married to Eo, an incipient rebel who wants to overthrow the existing social order, especially the Golds, who treat the lower-ranking orders cruelly. When Eo leads him to a mildly rebellious act, she's caught and executed, and Darrow decides to exact vengeance on the perpetrators of this outrage.
