Daemon (Daemon, #1)

Someone should give this man a pat on the back. He got every tech detail accurate as far as I could discern, which is a welcome change to the current Hollywoodification of tech thrillers (Skyfall anyone? - yuck)
I flew through this book and loved every minute of it. I could have done without the brutal mistreatment of a woman at the beginning of the the book, but it did server to vilify one of the main antagonists. After this opening scene, you are thrown into a world of action, and mystery. I loved trying to guess what would happen next, and being pleasantly surprised at the realistic ways in which the characters dealt with the situations. Sobol's deamon was terrifying, but completely possible. I think that if such a program were to exist, the public and the private sectors would react in essentially the same way.
I haven't been this engrossed in a book since my last Crichton read. I highly recommend this book, and I would love to hear about any others that are similar.

"200 pages in and I am absolutely in love with this book. The writing style reminds me of Crichton where every chapter ends on a cliff hanger. You just can't put it down.
The concept in the book is amazing, and it quickly becomes a mystery thriller in a Dan Brown fashion.
The best part is it is very accurate from a technology standpoint, so it doesn't ruin my suspension of disbelief when they get into specifics."
