Darrow is a Helldiver. A pioneer of Mars.

Born to slave beneath the earth so that one day, future generations might live above it.

He is a Red - humankind's lowest caste. But he has something the Golds - the ruthless ruling class - will never understand.

He has a wife he worships, a family who give him strength. He has love.

And when they take that from him, all that remains is revenge . . .

I haven't actually completed this book yet and it's unlikely to be finished by tomorrow, so will come back and comment on this once I've read it.

I'm enjoying the book so far (I am currently in part 4) and I think the rating will probably get to 5 ⭐ by the end. I'm not really getting soap opera vibes from the book though - it's definitely science fiction for me!

JoLene (trvl2mtns) | 1532 comments Yeah, I just finished. I think that space opera focuses on relationships and lots of adventure. I think it does have those characteristics, but they aren't in an over the top manner that is characteristics of soap operas.

I will definitely continue the series.
