The Daemon's Wish
The year is 2410. Humanity is living in a golden age, having worked together to stop global warming and bring world peace. Eventually they launched themselves to the stars, colonizing first Mars and then terraforming Europa. Jupiter’s moon is a near Utopia for everyone who lives there, until a series of terrifying murders rock the fabric of society. The Police and their Criminal Profiler Noah Peterson investigate, but things aren’t what they first appear. The Serial Killer leaves no prints, and video surveillance mysteriously malfunctions when they’re near. Who or what is the killer? Supernatural or natural? And does Noah know more than he is saying? A game of cat and mouse ensues, where deep dark secrets are revealed; secrets that ensure that Noah and everyone he knows will never be the same again.
READER REVIEWS
***** - Rollercoaster of a read, highly recommended. Having been an avid reader of sci-fi, crime and thriller novels for over 50 years I found this mixture of all 3 a gripping roller coaster of a read - J. Caple
***** - Absorbing Suspense. This is a fascinating story that blends sci-fi and whodunit with a touch of the metaphysical. The author delivers an action-packed flow with engaging characters, plot, and atmosphere. Like Alicia, who is working the case to solve a string of murders on a colonized moon, I felt the exhilaration of the chase, and the turmoil she experiences as evidence suggests the perpetrator may be a trusted colleague. The utopian setting adds eeriness and impact to the twists and turns of the mystery - Brian Wishka
​
***** - An Unputdownable Thriller. It would have been just another murder mystery, but Chris Wright infused psychological, paranormal, and sci-fi elements to ensure that it will be unique. The plot is heavy with an insatiable intrigue that is truly contagious. Not just the detectives, but the readers, too, wish to catch the killer and understand his motives. Once I picked up the book, it was impossible for me to put it down before knowing whether Noah was actually committing this heinous crime -- perhaps, subconsciously. The characters are very well-written. They all have their own particular attributes that set them apart from one another - Ankita
***** - A serial killer in space? Yes please! This was another original and unique idea that I hadn’t quite come across before, and knowing the author from his previous books, I felt that there had to be more to it. I wasn’t disappointed, and a thrilling chase across one of Jupiter’s moons felt scientifically real and also disturbingly accurate - Travon
***** - This is full of realistic feeling sci-fi elements, as we meet characters living in the future on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. That gave it an interesting twist, but the story was so much more than just a sci-fi, so much so that I think people who love mysteries or thrillers would love this too - V.Miller
