The bestselling author of Daemon returns with a near-future technological thriller, in which a charismatic billionaire recruits a team of adventurers to launch the first deep space mining operation-a mission that could alter the trajectory of human civilization.
Daniel Suarez is a New York Times bestselling author, TEDGlobal speaker, and former systems analyst. His unique brand of high-tech fiction explores the causes and impacts of rapid technological change. The author of seven novels, his latest, Critical Mass (second in the Delta-v series), is a realistic space-tech adventure depicting humanity's transition from a climate-imperiled, Earthbound civilization to one that utilizes resources and energy from space to secure a promising, sustainable future.
*A Prometheus Award Best Novel Nominee*
“Daniel Suarez's hugely impressive Delta-v fuses the real world
with sci-fi, giving the space genre a new boost and new hope.”
—Tom Shippey, The Wall Street Journal
"Daniel Suarez has slowly gotten quite a reputation as a master of
high-tech, sci-fi thrillers. Not only is Delta-v no exception, it
very well may be his finest work to date... Throughout his
career, Suarez has found consistent comparison to the late, great
Michael Crichton. I can assuredly support that he is in a very
small group of current writers who can carry that weighty mantle
forward."
—BookReporter
"A gripping and realistic near-future thriller."
—Booklist
“High finance and asteroid mining on the High
Frontier—terrific!”
—Greg Bear, New York Times bestselling author
"Thoroughly researched and brilliantly written, Daniel Suarez
integrates the technology, intrigue, chaos and the human drama of
the next ‘giant leap’ with rare scientific and operational
literacy. Haunting, bold and inspirational, this deep space tale
resonates on every level. For me, a twenty-two year NASA veteran in
direct mission support, Delta-v captures the very essence of
exploration."
—James Logan, MD, former NASA Chief of Flight Medicine
More Praise for Daniel Suarez and His Novels
“Biopunk has been waiting for its William Gibson, to bring a whole
new vision of the future as Mr. Gibson did for cyberpunk, and
Daniel Suarez has done it. . . . Exhilarating, alarming—Daniel
Suarez plays the two great thrills of sci-fi against each other,
and not just for fun. He thinks this is coming, and he means it.
Read it and wonder.”
—The Wall Street Journal on Change Agent
"Terrifyingly plausible."
—Time on Change Agent
“The depth and sophistication of Suarez’s dystopian world—not to
mention his facility at making complex science intelligible to the
nonexpert—rivals anything Michael Crichton ever did.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Change Agent
“The action scenes are plenty lively, [but] the best thing about
the book is its depiction of a troublesome future in which people
can change physical identities the way they change clothes. . . . A
natural at making future shocks seem perfectly believable, Suarez
delivers his most entertaining high-tech thriller yet.”
—Kirkus Reviews on Change Agent
“The ultimate form of identity theft is just a genetic edit away in
Suarez’s newest fast-paced, speculative thriller. . . . Offer
this to Michael Crichton and science-fiction-suspense fans.”
