Send us Fan MailIn Episode 7 of Big Rascals, we discuss our TOP 5 Wing flavors, Geoff's nerdy HOT TAKE, and the book "Red Rising" by Pierce Brown. There will be SPOILERS!!! So go and read this "Rising" in popularity book, then come back and listen."Red Rising" follows Darrow, a low-caste "Red" miner on Mars, who discovers his people's grueling work to terraform the planet is a lie, as the ruling "Golds" have lived on the habitable surface for generations as slave masters. Betrayed and driven by vengeance after his wife's death, Darrow disguised as a Gold, to infiltrate their elite command school, the Institute, to dismantle the oppressive color-coded society from within through brutal games, politics, and warfare. The story blends dystopian sci-fi with Romanesque fantasy, exploring themes of class, identity, sacrifice, and rebellion.We want Big Rascals to be a community or a "club."
