Engaging? Yep. Easy to understand? Yep. Fun to read even if you have a bit of an IT background? Yep again.
It reminded me of when the reader discovers who the enemy in Wool is (here). The one critical point I have? It became a tad prosaic in the final few chapters, far too rote and stereotypical. I also didn't care for the fact that the book ended in a cliff hanger. I like resolution in my novels, no matter how long that might take or how expansive the novel must become.
Still, it was gripping. Daemon reminded me of when I read Jurassic Park and stayed up till 2 AM to finish it.
The last line of the book is:
Sebeck gazed back along the road behind them— away from the blue thread. He thought of his previous life. Of those he’d left behind. Of the sheriff’s department, Laura, and his son, Chris. Of everyone and everything he’d ever known. Peter Sebeck was dead.
Suarez, Daniel - Daemon
Naturally if we want to know what happens to Sebeck we must read his next book, Freedom.
