They power almost every service. They make our networked world possible. But they also make it vulnerable... <p/> When the obituary of legendary computer game architect Matthew Sobol appears online, a previously dormant daemon activates, initiating a chain of events that begins to unravel our interconnected world. This daemon reads news headlines, recruits human followers, and orders assassinations. With Sobol's secrets buried with him, and as new layers of his daemon are unleashed, it's up to Detective Peter Sebeck to stop a self-replicating virtual killer before it achieves its ultimate purpose--one that goes far beyond anything Sebeck could have imagined...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>"Daemon</i> does for surfing the web what <i>Jaws</i> did for swimming in the ocean...both entertaining and credible...an impressive debut novel."--<i>Chicago Sun-Times <p/></i>"A chilling yet entirely plausible story of technology gone awry."--<i>St. Petersburg Times</i> <p/>"Fiendishly clever...an almost perfect guilty-pleasure novel."--<i>The Dallas Morning News</i> <p/>"A riveting debut."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review) <p/>"This thrill-a-nanosecond novel is certainly faithful to the techno-traditions of Michael Crichton and should delight not only readers of the 'science gone awry' genre, but general adventure readers as well."--<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"Suarez's not-just-for-gamers debut is a stunner."--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Greatest.
