The sci-fi graphic novel series Red Rising: Sons of Ares is getting a massive omnibus collection on March 25. The graphic novels serve as prequels to author Pierce Brown’s epic book series, Red Rising, and the omnibus is the first time all three volumes are available in a single collection. The previous single-volume releases are now hard to find and often very expensive, making the omnibus even more enticing for fans who want to read the origins of this sprawling sci-fi universe. The Red Rising: Sons of Ares Omnibus will be available in hardcover and paperback editions, and preorders for both versions are available at Amazon
$50+ | Releases March 25
This 456-page collection includes all the Red Rising: Sons of Ares graphic novels written by Pierce Brown and Rik Hoskin and illustrated by Eli Powell. The series is set before the events of Brown’s Red Rising book series, where humanity has developed into a multi-planetary civilization organized into a rigid caste system. The Sons of Ares prequel graphic novels explore the origins of a rebel group known as the Sons of Ares that is attempting to dismantle the caste system and overthrow the existing hierarchy.
The Red Rising: Sons of Ares Omnibus is available in a $50 paperback edition or a $60 hardcover edition. Alternatively, you can pick up digital versions of all three volumes on Kindle.
Preordering through Amazon locks in the preorder price guarantee, meaning if the omnibus’s price drops before release, you’ll only pay the lowest price. You also won’t be charged until your order has shipped.
Since there’s plenty of time between now and the Sons of Ares Omnibus launch, it’s a good time to check out the series that started it all. It currently consists of six entries, with a seventh planned (though no release date has been announced). New reader should check out the Red Rising 3-Book Box Set that’s on sale for just $43.13 (was $54) at Amazon. It includes paperback editions of the first three books in the series: Red Rising, Golden Sun, and Morning Star, plus an excerpt preview of the fourth book, Iron Gold. You’ll also find paperback and hardcover versions of all six books in the series available for individual purchase. You’ll find a list of all the books below.
Along with the books and graphic novels, the series has also spawned a board game spinoff, aptly titled the Red Rising Board Game. The game casts players as the heads of the many Houses vying for control of society, and let you decide if you want to continue the caste system or dismantle it and bring about a revolution. The game is on sale for $20 (was $25) at Amazon.
