Murder, genocide, the Apocalypse.
Explore the future of humanity in Massimo Marino's sci-fi debut, Daimones, an apocalyptic tale that feels like it could happen tomorrow. You may never sleep through a windstorm again.

Nothing could have prepared them for the last day. Death swept away the lives of billions, but spared Dan Amenta and his family, leading them to an uncertain future. When merely surviving isn't enough and the hunt for answers begins, memories from the past and troubling encounters lead Dan to the truth about the extermination of the human race. Distressing revelations will give new meaning to their very existence.

Early humans shaped the future and seeded a plan millions of years in the making. Now survivors must choose: Endure a future with no past or fade away into a past with no future?

So, what are readers saying about this title?

☆☆☆☆☆

"Creepy and too believable. I usually don't have that much trouble putting a book down. Most of the time I have a pretty good idea what's going to happen next and even if I don't, it takes a lot of suspense to keep me reading beyond my usual half-hour morning session on my stationary bike or in the evening before I go to sleep. I'm not impressed by either vampires or zombies. This book, however, was another story, literally and figuratively.
Not only was the suspense palpable, it sucked me into a world that in some ways was too familiar. All quality fiction transports the reader to another place and/or time, but it's usually relatively easy (at least for me) to separate the story from reality. Not so with this one.  

There are numerous interesting plot developments and a few more surprises. I will say that the majority of questions are answered by the conclusion and the explanations are not as far-fetched as you might expect, again adding to the rather alarming message underlying this brilliant novel." - 5X Space Cadet, Amazon

"Compelling read. It's hard to find a book today that keeps my attention. Daimones drew me in immediately and kept me coming back. Although there were some missteps (we are in Geneva and English is universally spoken and even signs in stores are written in English and a guy in New York writes a computer message just like he speaks "youse" to make some regional point, I guess). I overlooked them. The story unfolds at a snails pace but is also deliberate with Dan discovering one morning that he and his family may be the only humans left. When I was a child we worried about the neutron bomb that would leave buildings standing but kill all the people. I would sometimes fanatize about rummaging through other people's homes. Kinda how Dan explores the world around him. Slowly, carefully trying to figure things out. His thoughts keep us engrossed. His musings on how life will be from now on are compelling. And the scientific explanations are intriguing. Although in the end this cautionary tale repeats the apocryphal message told many times before, it is worth repeating and Daimones is worth a read." - Karen S. Bell, Amazon

"A remarkable End of the World saga. This is an outstanding, engaging, and very relatable tale of the End of the World, as we know it. I loved the smooth prose writing of Massimo Marino. I very much liked the confusion and issues of his first person POV Dan Amenta. I liked his wife Mary, daughter Annah and close friend Laura. While the tale keeps the 'nature' of who caused the sudden death of nearly all of humanity an uncertain source until the last fifth of the novel, I was okay with that. Dan has a childhood secret that links into the final mystery of Why? some entity destroyed most of humankind. The answer to Why? delves into mythology, ancient history, solar system dynamics and the issue of whether humanity can be worth saving in an uncertain future. Marino's answer to that question takes on an almost biblical level of mythologizing, but for me it worked. In fact it worked so well I am buying books two and three. If you want a dystopian tale that involves real people who could be your neighbors, read Daimones. Highly recommended." - T. Jackson King, Amazon
