I have loved cyberpunk-themed films, games and music for many, many years. This, in part, inspired my cyberpunk science-fiction books. I have also written and published horror, poetry, fantasy and children’s books.

A dark treat

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 January 2021

Verified Purchase

The Demon broods with a noir-style menace that’ll thrill fans who like their cyberpunk served with a dose of gritty anti-heroes. On the surface, it’s a cool delve into the lives of two people who are in too deep and struggling to make it out alive, but scratch away the surface, and underneath you’ll find a subtle exploration of what really makes a monster, and the price of redemption. If you crossed Frankenstein with Batman, then pumped it full of high-octane action amid the background of a neon-bathed city, you’d get something close to what Tanweer Dar has been able to achieve. This book will take you into the shadows for a glimpse of what it’s like to live and love in the dark.

Batmanesque Cyberpunk

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 January 2021

Verified Purchase

With the recent release of Cyberpunk 2077, it's inevitable that scifi in this genre will be compared to the videogame.

However, for me the flush cyberpunk setting Dar's novel The Demon brings to mind more the vivid colours of Batman of the Future. This comparison with Batman continues to the dark detective-like character at the centre of the book's plot. Grittier than most dark knight stories, Dar invites us into a grim city where murder is lit by bright neon lights.

If you're looking to escape from our current dystopia into one with more hi-fi action and less social distancing, this is one to read!

A well written book with a enjoyable story.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 February 2021

Verified Purchase

The Demon is an enjoyable story featuring a coherent, easy to follow plot, likeable and distinct characters, evil corporations, violent gangs, plenty of action and a cool car. If you're after some bedtime cyberpunk reading, you can't go far wrong with this. It's relatively short, which makes it a quick book to get through, but also left me wanting a bit more!

A neon cyberpunk rollercoaster

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 April 2021

The Demon is a fast paced thrill ride in a well-crafted futuristic world. The leading characters charge through an adventure of espionage and corporate greed while battling a range of foes that are all brilliantly unique. I loved that our heroes were fallible and the twists and turns were enough to give me whiplash. A brilliant thrill ride in a fantastic dark future .

There's a Demon Loose Out There...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 September 2020

This wonderful, quick paced book is a Cyberpunk thrill ride that also develops a sprawling metropolis of future possibilities,fantastically enjoyable and leaving you wanting more by the end (like any good book should!).

The characters are nuanced and well thought out. There are no white knights and helpless damsels here, and at some points you may not like a character's actions or their past as you learn more, but for me this makes them more real and their story arcs more powerful in the end. The interactions between Donovan and Charlie are great and very sweet in places.

The book has some fantastic iconography, from Donovan's coat, his lighter, his muscle car, to Violet's motorcycle, the HelixCorp building...even Donovan's coat stand! They all combine to give you a great sense of this world and act as touchstones throughout...i think these would translate very well on the screen!

There is also a ton of action and each scene moves the story along at a breakneck pace. Personally i loved the perspective shift that sometimes occurred within chapters, often in very short burst. For me this really amped up the tension in places very effectively.

Dar manages to do a great deal of world building as we hurtle along, especially for a shorter novel and there are certainly some twists and shocks as we reach the end that left me more than ready for the next installment.

I would certainly recommend The Demon to all lovers of Cyberpunk, Sci-Fi and Gritty Comic books, it was a great read!

A Whole Lot of Epic!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 November 2020

Verified Purchase

The Demon is a Frankenstein's monster of cult influences. A little bit Mad Max, a little bit Terminator, a little bit Resident Evil, and throw in some cyberpunk for good measure. Altogether, it's a whole lot of epic!

In The Demon we are introduced to Michael "The Demon" Donovan. He's your typical world-beaten vigilante seeking redemption, but rest assured, the futurist setting of the book gives a fresh take on this well-loved trope.

And then there's Charlie Floyd. Serving as the book's main protagonist, Charlie is a young journalist with a head on her shoulders, and thirst to unearth the corruption of HelixCorp; an organisation with nefarious methods.

Michael and Charlie's paths soon cross, and they find themselves with a shared goal. Along the way they meet a diverse and colourful (quite literally) cast of characters, including a biker gang influences by a murder of crows!

This book may not have been all that big, but it was packed with both action and plot that kept me reading!

A thrilling ride through multiple genres

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 31 January 2021

The Demon by Tanweer Dar is a thrilling ride through the cyberpunk, crime thriller, noir genres. This wouldn’t ordinarily be a book I would choose to read but after all the positive comments through the Twitterverse I had to give it a go. Boy was I ever glad I took the leap.

Michael ‘The Demon’ Donovan is a feared vigilante, cleaning up the mean streets of the techno, neon lit streets of a near cyberish futuristic city. His vulnerability shows on him after saving the life of Charlie Floyd, a determined journalist who wants to get to the truth behind a powerful genetics company.

What ensues is nothing short of a thrilling ride of badassary and vengeance. I could not put this book down. The writing is straightforward and to the point. The author has created characters that you as the reader become wholeheartedly invested in. I knew from about a quarter of the way through the book that I wasn’t going to want it to end and by the time I got there I was cursing the author, had a tear in my eye, a lump in my throat and a pulse racing for more.

I can see the events of this book flicker through my mind as though I watched it on the big screen; vibes of sci-fi action movies crossed with classic Frankenstein-esque horrors spring to mind as visuals. Who is the real demon of this story? You’ll have to read it to find out.
