Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Suarez's sequel to Daemon (2009), in which the late, mad-genius game designer Matthew Sobol launched a cyber war on humanity, surpasses its smart, exciting predecessor. This concluding volume crackles with electrifying action scenes and bristles with intriguing ideas about a frightening, near-future world. Sobol's “bots” continue to roam the Internet, inciting mayhem and siphoning money from worldwide, interconnected megacorporations out to seize control of national governments and enslave the populace. FBI special agent Roy Merritt is dead, but still manages to make a dramatic comeback, while detective Pete Sebeck, thought to be executed in Daemon, rises from the supposed grave to lead the fight against the corporations. What the trademark letters affixed to the title signify is anyone's guess. Those who haven't read Daemon should read it first. The two books combined form the cyberthriller against which all others will be measured. (Jan.)
Kirkus Reviews
The colliding armies are virtual, but the bloodshed isn't, in a sequel to Daemon (2009). That novel ended with Detective Sergeant Peter Sebeck of the Ventura County (Calif.) sheriff's office in jail, the government's fall guy for a bizarre series of events that no one has a real handle on. No one except for rogue computer genius Matthew Sobol, that is, and he's dead, leaving behind as a memento mori the scariest legacy the planet has ever seen. But what exactly is the Daemon? Since it's derived from an online video game, dedicated gamers come closest to comprehension. Consummate insider Jon Ross, for instance, describes the Daemon "as an open source cybernetic organism . . . that is spreading across the globe." For the benefit of a still skeptical ex-colleague (and any bemused readers) he adds, "the Daemon is real, and it's bigger than all of us-because it is all of us." Whatever it actually is, advocates and adversaries by the millions line up to support or abort the Daemon. Suddenly, Pete finds himself sprung and drafted for a Grail-like mission. His task is "to grok the shamanic interface," which means to embark on an updated Pilgrim's Progress that will end at last in his passing through the mythic Cloud Gate. In this way only can he justify the embattled concept of freedom, proving thereby that humanity is able to transcend an inherent drive toward self-destruction. Meanwhile, in the gathering storm, rival avatars and digital ghosts prepare to duel, computerized armies gird virtual loins-and anyone without a geek-speak dictionary is likely to flounder. The previous novel drew a sharper line between good and evil, allowing less web-oriented readers to empathize and root for therighteous. This time out, techno thriller surrenders to nerd lit.

    Freedom, by Daniel Suarez

    I just finished reading this book. Although not as quite as exciting as its predecessor: Daemon, it holds your attention until the conclusion. I would recommend this book to be read after Daemon.

    Great sequel!!

    A great sequel to Daemon, the first from this author. Not as good as Daemon, but very close. If you haven't read that, then I do not recommend reading this book first. Daemon should absolutely be read first so that you can thoroughly enjoy this one. If you like technology, video games, sci-fi, super cool characters, crazy ideas, and fun, then read both of these books. Read both of these books in a span of about 5 days. Do not start before bed if you are looking for sleep. I am really excited about this author and only wish there was more out there by him.

    Non-stop thrill ride of a sequel to Daemon

    Freedom had me breathless and late for work on more than one day. The storyline scares this IT/Webmaster with it's potential realism and I found myself needing to see what happened in the next chapter.

    This is pure escapism with a strong touch of what if?

    Conclusion to Daemon a true thriller

    I posted a review of the first book, Daemon. Should add that both books are hard to put down. Freedom delivers some satisfactory answers to the serious issues Suarez raises. This has a fair amount of intellectual subtext but Suarez delivers in terms of blood, gore, and action. I am not sure he has correctly identified the true villains but points to multi-national corporations and does accurately portray the capture of our government's regulatory and legislative apparatus. If you liked this you might want to explore Robert Ferrigno's trilogy, Shadow of the Assasin, Prayers for the Assassin and whatever the third one is titled.

    Not as good as Daemon

    I recently read Daemon and was blown away. I was very excited that it's sequel was coming out. I have to say I was disappointed. There is not as much action and I feel that the story gets blogged down at points. He story of the Daemon does get wrapped up pretty much but I think we could get another story. I word of warning-You must read Daemon before reading Freedom. If you do not you will be completely lost.

    As good or better than "Daemon." Although it looks like the series is over, I think there is room for a third book.

    But not as much as the first. I thoroughly enjoyed this book but only because it is a continuation of the first one, which was just excellent.

    Another Great Book!

    A mix of digital and real world elements come together to make for an explosive ending to the story that started within the book Daemon.

    A good follow up to end the continued story

    I good read if you have read the first in the series. If you picked up this book without the first one, you may be lost in what is going on. It almost seemed like the publisher wanted to break a larger novel (single book) into two. The bridge between the two books seemed weak. A great story and I recommend it to others who like high-tech action stories.

    A stunningly good followup to "Daemon"!

    It's not normal to see a sequel outperform the first book. Usually they feel like either a retread of the first book or like both books simply had too much filler. Not this one. This books takes the setup of the first one, and injects a cavalcade of ideas into it. There is some real stuff to think about embodied in this book... I can't go into it too much since otherwise it will break the plot. But Suarez has the germ of an idea here that we ought to at least think about...

    Good, but not as good as Damon

    It took me a while to get into this book, but once I did, I was not disappointed. You defiantly want to read Damon first, as this is a true sequel.

    Super conclusion to Daemon.

    A great conclusion to Daemon. Freedom was not as action packed as the first book, but concentrated more on the inner workings of the Darknet and the daemon. Characters evolved and some took surprising twists. The story that began in Daemon was actually believable and that added a lot to the appeal of the book. Freedom goes a little beyond what is believable extending to the realm of science fiction. That is not a criticism, just an observation. Freedom had it's share of action and suspense. The villains become more evil and the heroes more complicated and enduring. Freedom quickly becomes character driven once high tech climaxes and levels off. Defiantly a great ending. So many book series have had very disappointing endings in the past. In freedom the loose ends are tied up and the the reader sighs with relief, not frustration. Highly recommended!
