Join the Pierce Brown Book Tour for ‘Light Bringer’
Maude Garrett has been raving about Red Rising, and our book club members have loved the second book, Golden Son. This month we head back into the universe created by Pierce Brown with Morning Star, the third book in the series. It was the winner of Best Science Fiction in 2016.
MBC has had such wonderful discussions about this series so far. Garrett has interviewed Pierce Brown, and our members gave such insightful questions. Three more books are in this series, with the sixth book, Light Bringer, expected to release on July 25th.
Fortunately for Pierce Brown fans, otherwise known as “Howlers”, he is starting his book tour at SDCC on July 20th!
Pierce Brown was always fascinated with storytelling from a young age. He remembered the stories his grandfather would tell him, and he would listen for hours. He would tell him stories about tricksters, backwater bandits and clever outsiders. His family moved seven times before he was eighteen, and he went to more than ten schools.
After leaving high school, he realized it was possible to be a writer. It wasn’t until one muggy summer night after high school ended that he started writing. He wrote six books in five years and received more than a hundred rejections in return. He was twenty-two and ready to give it all up. A seed was planted after he read Antigone and saw Mars all bright in the sky, a seed was planted. He took ancient Greece and added stars, spaceships, opera, Romans, twists, betrayal and blood to make Red Rising.
