A science-fiction book where humans have the technology to colonize other planets and genetically modify their bodies to create "superior beings" with inhuman strength, speed, etc; yet are still under a caste system society. Humans are categorized by color with the "Reds" being the lowest level as they are virtual slaves working in the mines on Mars. The highest are the "Golds" who are modified to have every physical advantage and are trained from birth to value power. Darrow, a "Red" is taken from his mining colony and is trained to infiltrate the Gold Society and try to take it down from within. This book is being marketed as the "Next Hunger Games" but for Adults. I would say due to the violence and implied sexual violence, this is not a book for younger teens. This is book #1 in a trilogy, and I cannot wait to read book 2!!
(I got an Advance Copy from NetGalley. This Book is due out: January 28, 2014 - Get on the list Now!)
