Product Description
The propulsive, shockingly plausible sequel to New York Times bestseller Daemon, the “Greatest. Techno-thriller. Period.”*
*William O’Brien, ex- director of cybersecurity and communications systems policy at the White House
2009 saw one of the most inventive techno-thriller debuts in decades as Daniel Suarez introduced his terrifying and tantalizing vision of a new world order. Daemon captured the attention of the tech community, became a national bestseller, garnered attention from futurists, literary critics, and the halls of government-leaving readers clamoring for the conclusion to Suarez’s epic tale.
In the opening chapters of Freedom(tm), the Daemon is well on its way toward firm control of the modern world, using an expanded network of real-world, dispossessed darknet operatives to tear apart civilization and rebuild it anew. Civil war breaks out in the American Midwest, with the mainstream media stoking public dread in the face of this ‘Corn Uprising’. Ex- detective Pete Sebeck, now the Daemon’s most legendary and most reluctant operative, must lead a tiny band of enlightened humans in a populist movement designed to protect the new world order.
But the private armies of global business are preparing to crush the Daemon once and for all. In a world of conflicted loyalties, rapidly diminishing government control, and a new choice between free will and the continuing comforts of ignorance, the stakes could not be privileged: hanging in the balance is nothing less than democracy’s last hope to survive the equipment revolution.

I tried reading this book several times but was sorry to say disappointed each time.
The propaganda it tries to push is devious at first but over time becomes blatant. I have to agree with the folks that are adage this is New World Order propaganda from the 13 most powerful families in the world, persons that head up the Committee of 300. These folks are hell bent on destroying freedom in America (can you tell, based on what’s transpired so far?). The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds. Heard of them? There are 13 of these powerful families and their agenda has permanently been to back both sides financially in wars. They are the ones who had us building up our nuclear arsenal against the Russians (the Cold War)! Now you can see what they’ve done to Russia, the ex- Soviet Union and now America!!
Don’t judge the leader when he tries to make freedom out to be a form of tyranny or worse, the back!
For persons who are going to buy this because it got Oprah’s thumbs up, I say, reflect for yourself! I don’t recommend this book and in fact I’d like to say, be warned! Don’t buy into the propaganda.
Remember things aren’t permanently as they appear to be.
Look at the war in Iraq. Based on fabrications and lies.
Now, Iran may be next. Based on similar fabrications and lies.
The goal for the Committee of 300 is to have Israel and Iran ruin each additional, thereby nearly destroying the world. Why would the Committee of 300 want this? Because they can come forwards with their One World Government, One World Religion. Where you have no rights at all, not even the right to live!
C’mon people. You know what freedom is. It’s freedom from this tyranny that is building all around us. And it wouldn’t be happening lacking our consent.
Don’t be fooled by the propaganda!

If this is an example of fiction by a gamer, he should stick to flogging his joystick.
It was impossible for me to remain amused at sentence after sentence trying to recreate the infantile joys of a computer game. If you get swept up in the visuals it’s one thing, but if your brain is functioning, it’s reasonably another. Dunno, maybe if you’re 14-16…. But I couldn’t help wondering why a 56th level wanker wasn’t an 256th level wanker… you know?

I loved this book but it was only about a 3 1/2 stars for me. I loved Daemon by Daniel Suarez which is the first book of this series. It cleared up a lot of the points that were left wide open. But of course there are still some things that aren’t known at the end. I loved the interaction between the system and the characters. I felt that Mr. Suarez really developed Pete Sebeck and Jon Ross more and it was appealing to get to know Loki deeper. But, I didn’t delight in all the military maneuvering. It wasn’t why I got into this series. I do know that it plays a huge part of the world. I really loved the politics behind the whole system and how computers run the world now. I loved how Mr. Suarez wrote about how he believes things will be in the future or even could be now. I liked the thought of the darknet I didn’t like the wrap up of the ending. I’m hoping there’s another book coming soon. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a excellent thriller. You would need to read Daemon first since this isn’t a stand alone book.

I regularly read science fiction reviews online, and had heard of Daemon (the prior novel that is), so I checked Daemon out at my local library. As I ongoing reading it, I was very impressed. The comparisons to Crichton are apt, and the characterizations, techno-philia, and action were all well written and compelling…so I immediately ordered its sequel (Freedom) from Amazon, because the local library did not carry it.
By that time, I was getting to the end of Daemon and establish the plot and characters were beginning to flounder, but was still nervous to get on to Freedom.
What I establish is like one of persons dreams where you shift into slow motion and cannot get from here to there lacking maximum effort. Did a different writer write this book? What is all this malarkey about the “corn conspiracy” and the evil “plutocrats?” Suddenly these believable characters had become utterly stereotypical, the excellent guys all excellent and “green,” the terrible guys all evil and “corporate,” whatever that means. The plot lost its moorings: rebellious kids saving the world by tweeting their way to the Fantastic Al-Gorean Post-Apocalypse…give me a break.
Anyway, I’m beginning to flounder myself…all I mean to do is save the world from the fantastic waste of time that this book is (I myself could not end it). Still, I hope the leader can regain the clarity and style of the first half of Daemon.

Freedom(tm), Suarez’s followup to the riveting Daemon, is a messy imitation of The Matrix + Terminator * Minority Report / World of Warcraft.
Pete Sebeck is charged by Matthew Sobol’s hologram to follow a virtual thread and determine if humanity deserves freedom. What follows this intriguing scenario is a series of crashes, fist fights, gun fights, explosions and torture. The plain characters drawn in Daemon are dispersed in a world where gasoline is completely unaffordable and abandoned cars litter the landscape. Yet they turn up at random times and places, with the exception of Anji Anderson, who appears only reading the news, and cryptanalyst Natalie Phillips, who is under house arrest via passive RFID. These two characters are inactivated, but not killed. The remainder, (save the maverick Major, effective for, and killing Huge Corporations/Government), are avatars, with screen names, trades, and ratings. The irony of Freedom(tm) is there is no humanity in the tale, rendering the concept moot and the plot in tatters.
Still, as I read, I kept thinking this would make a fantastic popcorn flick. Read Daemon, then wait for the movie; you’ll be much more satisfied. I reflect Suarez stumbled after finding a publisher and facing a deadline to write the sequel. I’ll look for his future books.
