I've enjoyed everything Daniel Suarez has published the last few years, but his latest one may be the best yet:
Flamboyant billionaire Nathan Joyce recruits a bunch of adventurers and scientists to try out for his mission to mine asteroids ... The description of the tryouts and training and the mission itself with all its complications is just fascinatingly well done and not to be missed.
Five stars: money back if not completely satisfied on this one.
The first two I experienced of Suarez was this duology:
These two concern rich and recently deceased game developer Matthew Sobel, who's apparently left a complex computer-game type set of deadly traps for former employees and law enforcement personnel.
One of these, Detective Sargent Pete Seabeck, is targeted for especially horrifying treatment ...
The second book continues the story with a critique of modern society, and the way Suarez weaves the whole thing together I thought was just brilliant.
Five stars for both of these, too, but
warning as they both contain scenes of
extreme violence ... I'm actually going back to replay the audiobook of Daemon after finishing Delta-V this past week.
