From
the back cover
“. . .
the satellite-sized alien Gaea has gone completely insane. She has trapped humans
in her mind. She has transformed her love of old movies into monstrous
realities. She is Marilyn Monroe. She is King Kong. And she must be destroyed.”
Review
Set
thirteen years after Wizard, this third and final Gaea novel tracks Jones,
her allies and her enemies as the ex-Wizard wages a guerrilla war against Gaea, whose erratic, mass-death proclivities have grown worse,
speeding up a ticking-clock-to-doomsday situation. Demon, like its predecessor
books, balances ongoing (and consciousness-shifting) characters, hard and soft
science fiction, a love of Golden Age Hollywood, sex and realistic, sometimes
dark, takes on human nature, as well as vividly described action and fantasy
sequences. This trilogy, one of my all-time-favorite science fiction reads, is
worth your time if you are not a prude about sex, or not open to hybrid-genre
science fiction.
