Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

At first, Logan Ramsay isn’t sure if anything’s different. He just feels a little . . . sharper. Better able to concentrate. Better at multitasking. Reading a bit faster, memorizing better, needing less sleep. But before long, he can’t deny it: Something’s happening to his brain. To his body. He’s starting to see the world, and those around him—even those he loves most—in whole new ways. The truth is, Logan’s genome has been hacked. And there’s a reason he’s been targeted for this upgrade.

Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

Publisher's summary
Daniel Suarez's New York Times best-selling debut high-tech thriller is “so frightening even the government has taken note” (Entertainment Weekly).
Daemons: computer programs that silently run in the background, waiting for a specific event or time to execute. They power almost every service. They make our networked world possible. But they also make it vulnerable....
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....
Critic reviews
“A riveting debut.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
“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.” (Booklist)
“Suarez's not-just-for-gamers debut is a stunner.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Cal Sounder is a detective working for the police on certain very sensitive cases. So when he’s called in to investigate a homicide at a local apartment, he’s surprised by the routineness of it all. But when he arrives on scene, Cal soon learns that the victim—Roddy Tebbit, an otherwise milquetoast techie—is well over seven feet tall. And although he doesn’t look a day over thirty, he is ninety-one years old. Tebbit is a Titan—one of this dystopian, near-future society’s genetically altered elites. And this case is definitely Cal’s thing.

At first, Logan Ramsay isn’t sure if anything’s different. He just feels a little . . . sharper. Better able to concentrate. Better at multitasking. Reading a bit faster, memorizing better, needing less sleep. But before long, he can’t deny it: Something’s happening to his brain. To his body. He’s starting to see the world, and those around him—even those he loves most—in whole new ways. The truth is, Logan’s genome has been hacked. And there’s a reason he’s been targeted for this upgrade.

Techno Thriller that keeps you wanting for more
Would you listen to Daemon again? Why?
Yes, yes, yes! Daemon has real world possibilities for something like this happening, with cyber warfare a daily occurrence do we really know what is truly happening in cyberspace? I mean when you come to think of it, we are really just 1's and 0's in a system somewhere, everyone of us tracked and watched without even knowing it, or just refusing to believe it could be that invasive.
What other book might you compare Daemon to and why?
"One Second After" comes to mind, except it is the opposite of Daemon, played out with the total absence of modern technology, it shows you the frightening consequences of how dependent we are on this industrialized world, and that if someone pulled the plug on everything, you'd better be prepared to make do, or get ready to die.
What does Jeff Gurner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Great character voice over, distinguishing character voices to provide realism to the characters as he reads the book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The entire book with especially the climactic ending leading to the sequel moved me, would love to see this made into a big screen blockbuster, though I doubt it could be done with an accurate representation of the true tale!

Great story with an author that is tech savvy
What did you love best about Daemon?
Just an overall amazing story. What got me sucked into this story even deeper, was how well researched the author was in multiple technology fields. It was refreshing listening to a story that actually uses correct terminology, equipment and overall a sound understanding of what the heck they talking about. You will enjoy this!
What other book might you compare Daemon to and why?
None other...that is what makes it great.

a very original story, I hope there is a book 2
I was worried while listening to the story that the ending would be disappointing. It was not. It was the most memorable book I have experienced in a long time. I hope the author can write another story just as satisfying as this one.

1 of the BEST of the Best in this genre!!!
If you could sum up Daemon in three words, what would they be?
As good as, if not fresher, more innovative and satisfying than the best work by the likes of Clancy, Dan Brown, Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn et al.
Which character – as performed by Jeff Gurner – was your favorite?
Excellent job for all characters!
Any additional comments?
Must concur with others "Possibly the best techno thriller of all time" [so far]

Gripping to the end
I am in IT, so this hits home even more. I thought this was a very intricate and well thought out book and just very well narrated as well.
Not much I can say other than I neglected my usual podcasts for this gripping book in two days...even at home.
I absolutely reccommend this one.
