Pierce Brown is an American novelist whose work has made him one of the defining voices in modern science fiction. After a restless childhood that saw his family move repeatedly and left him passing through more than ten schools, he began writing in earnest just after high school. After years of rejection, he found his breakthrough with Red Rising, the first instalment in an epic saga that fused classical tragedy, Roman myth, and space opera into an international bestseller.Since then, the series has grown into a global phenomenon, winning a devoted readership for its high-stakes politics and fierce emotional intensity. Alongside his work as a novelist, he has embraced gaming culture—contributing to the Red Rising board game and speaking openly about his love of everything from StarCraft II to Mass Effect and Cyberpunk. Now, as the series is being reissued in special tenth-anniversary editions, a new generation of readers is discovering the world that made his name.LINKSPierce Brown – website & booksPierce Brown – official websiteRed Rising – the complete sagaRed Rising: Sons of Ares – prequel comic seriesPierce Brown – Instagram (@piercebrownofficial)Red Rising board gameRed Rising – Stonemaier Games (designed by Jamey Stegmaier)Pierce's Perfect ConsoleCommand & Conquer (1995) – WikipediaCommand & Conquer: Red Alert – WikipediaCommand & Conquer: Tiberian Sun – WikipediaShogun: Total War (2000) – WikipediaTotal War series – official siteBaldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn – WikipediaBlack & White (2001) – WikipediaThe Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind – WikipediaBooks and other references mentionedPlato's Republic – WikipediaAntigone by Sophocles – WikipediaThe Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas – WikipediaEnder's Game by Orson Scott Card – WikipediaThe First Law trilogy by Joe AbercrombieGattaca (1997 film) – WikipediaGustave Doré – illustrator, WikipediaSupport the showMy Perfect Console – episode archiveSupport My Perfect Console on PatreonBecome a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsoleTake the Acast listener survey to help shape the show: My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin Survey 2025 Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailListen closely, my goodman, Golden Son ruined our bloody damn lives… and we're here to fill you in on the heartbreak. ☄️We kicked off Sci-Fi Summer with a full-length episode introducing the genre and setting the scene for a closer analysis of science fiction. We discuss who has historically defined and dominated the genre, its subsequent evolution, and how our newest deep dive obsession, the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown fits into it all. Next, we covered book one to see if it lives up to the hype you all have given it. And boy howdy did it exceed our expectations. Today we're diving into book two: Golden Son. We're out of The Institute and tossed into the “real world,” unforgiving and brutal as it is. We're watching The Rising build and The Society break down (not unlike our main character Darrow) in real time, and the stress… is all-consuming (to put it mildly). We can only examine the implications of real or imagined technology and science on society thoroughly, critically, and responsibly through an intersectional lens. Is Pierce Brown doing this responsibly while also keeping us entertained? We bring you our spoiler free reviews, “Five Sentence Summary” and all our faves and least faves, but also discuss sci-fi themes, differences and similarities to fantasy, the romance, genre miscategorization, lore and fun facts, quotes, character growth and relatability, and most importantly… themes. It might be time to bust out the Cryometer™ because no one is safe in this brutal world and we fear the stakes are only going to get higher. Next week we will be covering the “conclusion” to the original trilogy with Morning Star but don't worry, after that we will continue on with the next three…and finish one day with Red God!Don't be shy, subscribe!

In this episode of the Hugonauts we're breaking down what truly defines great Young Adult fiction and answering the ultimate question: do these books actually hold up when you read them for the first time as an adult? We look at the core guidelines of YA literature—from exploring the human condition through a young protagonist's eyes to (ideally) teaching profound stuff that resonates beyond teenhood. We count down the absolute best YA sci-fi books and YA fantasy recommendations. We dive into legendary dystopian hits like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, masterclass sci-fi like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and Red Rising by Pierce Brown, and classic fantasy staples like Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass, and C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. But we don't just look at the masterpieces. We also separate the true YA novels from books that are actually meant for middle-grade kids (like The Giver, Redwall, and The Phantom Tollbooth). Finally, we tackle the controversial "duds" of the genre. Why are massive bestsellers like The Maze Runner, Divergent, and Scythe so incredibly popular, and why did they fall totally flat for us? Grab your reading list and let's find out which books are actually worth your time! No spoilers anywhere in this episode.

We did all watch the mini-series on netflix so tune in to hear our thoughts about that too! Join us for our next month's pick: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. This is one of Hannah's all time favorite novels so grab your copy and read along!

There was little doubt on any race fans mind that Hunter Lawrence would get a 450SX win and when HRC unveiled their military appreciation bike in Arlington, it was a slam dunk. We've got the 450SX WINNER on the line tonight. Pierce Brown is probably the second most "due" racer in the series that was ready for the win and he also got the DUB AND WE HAVE HIM TOO. Dean Wilson is off racing in other Worldly events because he is very cultured; Dean-O is on with us tonight too. We have the fastest brothers from Minnesota in studio and their best frenemy, Phil Nicoletti in studio with them as well. GREAT SHOW!!

Frank Herbert's 1965 epic Dune was once the domain of sci-fi diehards. But in recent years, the book has crossed over into the mainstream. In today's Books We've Loved, Andrew Limbong and B.A. Parker are joined by Throughline's Ramtin Arablouei, who makes a personal case for the story's appeal – despite its density. Then, special guest, author Pierce Brown, shares whether he thinks Dune has reached Star Wars levels of cultural saturation.Ramtin's Recommendation: ‘Rendezvous with Rama' by Arthur C. ClarkeParker's Recommendation: ‘The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. Le GuinAndrew's Recommendation: ‘Saga' by Brian K.

The Buddies are back for their sixth rodeo with Pierce Brown's "Light Bringer," the final book in the second Red Rising trilogy (before the 7th book). The Buddies needed some cliff notes to remember what happened in this one (it was a lot). The gang discusses Mission Impossible/Scooby-Doo mask reveals, and how Atlas has been playing 4D chess while everyone else was playing checkers. There's also talk of self-help books, Darrow having an identity crisis, and Virginia actually getting to do cool Mustang things instead of just being stuck in meetings. So grab your 35-hour audiobook stamina, practice remembering approximately 847 character names, and join the Buddies as we contemplate life until Red God comes out.Intro/Book Summary (0:00-5:37)Stock Up/Down (5:38-32:12)Favorite Scene/Character (32:13-36:25)Love/Hate (36:26-50:45)Conclusion (50:46-55:36) NEXT BOOK: My Friends by Fredrik Backman
