About this listen

Red Rising hit the ground running and wasted no time becoming a sensation. Golden Son continues the stunning saga of Darrow, a rebel forged by tragedy, battling to lead his oppressed people to freedom.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

As a Red, Darrow grew up working the mines deep beneath the surface of Mars, enduring backbreaking labor while dreaming of the better future he was building for his descendants. But the Society he faithfully served was built on lies. Darrow’s kind have been betrayed and denied by their elitist masters, the Golds—and their only path to liberation is revolution. And so Darrow sacrifices himself in the name of the greater good for which Eo, his true love and inspiration, laid down her own life. He becomes a Gold, infiltrating their privileged realm so that he can destroy it from within.

A lamb among wolves in a cruel world, Darrow finds friendship, respect, and even love—but also the wrath of powerful rivals. To wage and win the war that will change humankind’s destiny, Darrow must confront the treachery arrayed against him, overcome his all-too-human desire for retribution—and strive not for violent revolt but a hopeful rebirth. Though the road ahead is fraught with danger and deceit, Darrow must choose to follow Eo’s principles of love and justice to free his people.

He must live for more.

Top shelf sci-fi, though I loved the first book in the series I felt it was lacking and had more of a fantasy feel. Golden son is everything and more from what an action packed sci-fi should be!! I’m hooked.

Excellence

Only complaint is that this series releases in parts. It’s too good to wait! 100% worth it!

Great performance

What a great way to get through the 1 hrs commute! On the drive home I had several phone calls from my wife inquiring where I was as I sat in the apartment parking lot listening and waiting for a good stopping point!

Dramatization makes it even better!

The voice acting is top notch here, truly feels like a movie. Where I feel like the series starts to lack is the direction and choice of music used in scenes. It’s clear the music is pre-made, generic library music which is fine, but it is often tonally at odds. During many scenes, the music chosen has piano, a big orchestra, and feels like it would fit well in a period drama… NOT a futuristic space opera!! As a musician myself I admit I probably notice the music more than others, but I do find it distracting.

Everything else is A+!

Overall amazing production with weak music

Absolutely in love with the series!! Although I cannot wait for the story to continue, I'm still willing to wait for the dramatised audio version rather than the standard audiobook. So great is the quality! I drove for 4 hours, felt like a moment. And when I arrived, I stayed up for another 3 hours to finish the story :D 10/10. Will deprive myself of sleep again!

The story keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Just when you think everything is going Darrow’s way, think again. Brown always keeps you on your toes and the cast of this audio drama does an amazing job bringing these vibrant characters to life.
