Fans of Pierce Brown’s best-selling dystopian sci-fi series Red Rising can soon add a stunning collector’s edition of the first novel to their bookshelf. The Red Rising Deluxe Slipcase Edition releases October 14 and is available to preorder at Amazon for 30% off, which drops the price to only $35 (was $50). This edition is published by Del Rey, the Penguin Random House imprint that has handled the science fiction series since its 2014 debut.
The Deluxe Slipcase Edition is one of two exciting Red Rising books hitting stores soon. On September 30, the prequel comic book series Son of Ares launches in a single-volume omnibus edition. The 456-page omnibus is available to preorder for $50 in paperback and $60 in hardcover.
Red Rising Deluxe Slipcase Edition (Hardcover)

Red Rising’s Deluxe Slipcase Edition is one of the most beautiful collectible books I’ve seen this year. Most deluxe edition hardcovers of popular sci-fi and fantasy novels feature sprayed edges, illustrated endpapers, and perhaps foil-stamped artwork. But Red Rising takes it up a notch with a full-color illustrated slipcase with a quote from the novel on the back of the case. The front and back covers also have exclusive character art set against colorful red and white backgrounds.
This edition still has the aforementioned common features found in the deluxe editions: sprayed page edges and illustrated endpapers. For the sprayed edges, the book’s designed blended multiple shades of red to create a unique look. Full-color maps of the solar system are included as endpapers. A beautiful fold-out poster depicting the military academy where Darrow and his fellow classmates train. The Mars branch of The Institute is a high-tech fortress resembling a medieval castle. Just like in the book, the isolated school is surrounded by canyons in every direction.
The Deluxe Slipcase Edition is 400 pages–slightly longer than the 382-page standard hardcover–and is just a tad bulkier overall at 9.88 x 6.63 x 1.5 inches. Those figures likely include the slipcase, so the actual book is probably about the same size as the standard hardcover (9.5 x 6.38 x 1.25 inches).
