Daemon Series (Books in Order)

The Daemon series follows detective Peter Sebeck helped by a network of operatives as he tries to stop the posthumous plan of game designer Matthew Sobol, who created a self-executing computer program to act in the real world after his death to begin reshaping the world after Sobol’s design. These are near-future cyber-thrillers built around software, surveillance, distributed power, and social breakdown, and they work best as one continuous story read in order from Daemon to Freedom™.

Delta-v Series (Books in Order)

The Delta-v series follows cave diver James Tighe and his crew recruited by reclusive billionaire Nathan Joyce for the first commercial asteroid-mining mission. The books are closer to realistic space-tech thriller, but they still show Daniel Suarez’s usual interest in engineering constraints, private power, and give an idea of what happens when ambitious systems clash with politics.
