نقد و بررسی
The world we live in is almost entirely controlled by daemons, high-tech computers. Matthew Sobol was the man responsible for a large number of these daemons, a genius who could never enjoy his success and eventually took his own life. But when his obituary appears online, an unknown daemon reactivates--and sets out to destroy everything in its path. A taut techno-thriller, this novel unravels at a frantic pace, but narrator Jeff Gurner never struggles to stay ahead of his listener. Gurner sounds like a young, intelligent entrepreneur, much like the ill-fated Sobol. However, Gurner never gives in to the intensity of the story, instead getting better in his straightforward delivery as it plows forward. The result is a novel filled with twists that seem to shock the narrator as much as they do his listener. L.B. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
Starred review from October 6, 2008
Originally self-published, Suarez's riveting debut would be a perfect gift for a favorite computer geek or anyone who appreciates thrills, chills and cyber suspense. Gaming genius Matthew Sobol, the 34-year-old head of CyberStorm Entertainment, has just died of brain cancer, but death doesn't stop him from initiating an all-out Internet war against humanity. When the authorities investigate Sobol's mansion in Thousand Oaks, Calif., they find themselves under attack from his empty house, aided by an unmanned Hummer that tears into the cops with staggering ferocity. Sobol's weapon is a daemon, a kind of computer process that not only has taken over many of the world's computer systems but also enlists the help of superintelligent human henchmen willing to carry out his diabolical plan. Complicated jargon abounds, but most complexities are reasonably explained. A final twist that runs counter to expectations will leave readers anxiously awaiting the promised sequel.
