… in continuation of a topic of rare books (started with Unbelievable price for a Photoshop book):

Daemon must be an amazing science fiction novel if it gets feedback (#1, #2 from reviews of the paperback edition of “Daemon”) like this:

• “DAEMON is better than early Tom Clancy (when he was good) …”
• “As a computer professional I found the technology in this book believeable –which is it’s most compelling feature. … I loved the book and have bought 7 copies (so far) as gifts …
• “I just finished the most thought provoking cyberpunk novel I think I’ve ever read: The Daemon by Leinad Zeraus.” - see a review by Dustin Kirkland

… hmm, how can a book be rare if it was published less than 2 years ago? Turns out it was sold out and the price of a used book on Amazon is “starting from $95.00″.

If this book has captured your attention and you do not have the book yet, there are some good news. A new hardcover edition is to be published in early January 2009 and is available for pre-order now. A sequel called Freedom™ is expected to follow.

P.S. Weird that author names on the two editions are different - it is Leinad Zeraus on the paperback and Daniel Suarez on the hardcover edition.
