Rudý úsvit – Brown Pierce (2025)

The first part of the bestselling sci-fi saga set in the environment of Mars in a new Czech translation.

Darrow is a fresh groom at sixteen and also the most efficient miner in the Lykos colony on Mars. It's a tough life, bathing in his own sweat all day in a neoprene suit and operating a giant excavator in underground tunnels filled with deadly mining vipers and explosive gas pockets. Darrow knows nothing but slave labor, meager food rations, and strict laws ruthlessly enforced by the highest caste of Golds, but alongside his lifelong love Eo, he does not complain. After all, he is doing important work — he and millions of other miners, technicians, scientists, and other pioneers are preparing Mars for the future resettlement of humanity, which today struggles on an ecologically devastated Earth.

One day, however, a tragic event turns his life upside down, and Darrow begins to slowly uncover the terrible truth.
