Freedom™

After reading the excellent Daemon last year, I had to wait until this year to find out what happened with the loose ends. Freedom™ continues the story and tells us what happens to Detective Pete Sebeck, NSA Agent Natalie Philips, Jon Ross, Loki, and the Major. It's a fast read, almost as fast as Daemon, but it's not nearly as propulsive as Daemon was. Still, even in the slower spots of the narrative, the ideas that Suarez expounds on are interesting and dovetails ominously with some other non-fiction I've read recently. One bit that especially resonates is the portrayal of an evil seed company and its deleterious effect on farmers. There are a few crazy action scenes sprinkled into the story but unfortunately they don't gel together as well as in Daemon. But this book is worth it alone just to discover how everything plays out. Loki's denouement is especially fitting.
