We are told to never judge a book by its cover and that certainly includes any quotes that should adorn the front. Since his debut novel, all the Daniel Suarez books I have read had a quote suggesting that he was the legitimate heir to Michael Crichton. To compare your work with one of the best techno thriller writers of all time is never going to be easy and time after time, Suarez fell short. That is until ''Influx'', a book that finally puts Suarez in the same illustrious company as Crichton.

When physicist Jon Grady invents a mirror that reflects gravity he imagines a world that will have cheaper energy and the ability to travel through space. However, unbeknownst to him there is a shadowy government organisation whose job is to quash any technological advancements they believe society is not yet ready for. Therefore, rather than finding himself on stage receiving a Nobel Prize, Grady is thrown into an advanced prison with seemingly no means of escape.

There is some great edgy science fiction being released at the moment, why not try out [[Afterparty by Daryl Gregory]] or [[Sand by Hugh Howey]] to find out for yourself? You could also try some earlier work from Suarez [[Daemon by Daniel Suarez]].
