Product Description

Titan, Wizard, and Demon have enthralled a generation of readers with adventure, humor, horror, and dazzling imagination. Now, in the epic conclusion of John Varley's masterpiece, the satellite-sized 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.
©1984 John Varley; (P)2008 Audible

My favorite novel 19 Mar 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
DEMON is the conclusion of Varley's Gaea trilogy (TITAN and WIZARD are the first two). The incredible imagination and dramatic skill Varley demonstrates in WIZARD finally come together to explode in DEMON. The ending is brilliant and unexpected--and utterly dramatic: Varley's diversity of characterization (arguably his weakest feature) here is at its best. This is a book about rebellion, freedom, passion, strength, identity, and even love--ironically, because many of the characters are grotesquely violent, even visceral. But he reaches the depths in order to explode to heights which are yet somehow not tinted with melodrama. Varley's work is romantic, but not naive--definitely not naive. And it reaches its very best in DEMON. Easily his masterpiece, and easily my very favorite novel of all time.

Varley's "Gaeia" trilogy is my favorite set of books, and Demon is a satisfying conclusion to it. The plot is more action-driven than the first two books, but while I am not always a fan of action Varley's writing makes it compelling and suspenseful. I highly reccommend this book to everyone, as well as anything else Mr. Varley has written!

By Mark
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The novel "Demon" is the last book in the trilogy that starts with "Titan" and continues with "Wizard". "Titan" starts off in an interesting way with a space ship crew ending up on giant alien space wheel in orbit around Saturn. The description of the personalities start off in a very crude way in Titan, but slowly improves. The end of Titan made me hope for some interesting continuation in Wizard, but I was disappointed. Most off the stuff in Wizard didn't make much sense, and it's not only because most of the crew apparently went mad, and the wheel is controlled by a mad entity. It seems the author just filled in with whatever stuff came into hs mind as he went along, without checking if the overall story was making any sense. For example, no scientists seemed to have any interest at all in the wheel, they just left it alone for tourists to fool around in. Then some random magic is thrown in for the heck of it. I'm not sure why I read all three, and didn't just stop somewhere before the last page. Possibly it's because I have an interest in how life might be in space stations. I'm not sure most people have such stamina, though. It's not a page-turner. It felt like an ardous task most of the time. Some of the sex in the trilogy is pretty good, though...
