Daniel Suarez (born December 21, 1964) [1] is an American novelist, writing principally in the science fiction and techno-thriller genres. He initially published under the pseudonym Leinad Zeraus [2] (his name spelled backwards).
Suarez career as an author began with a pair of techno-thriller novels. The first novel, Daemon , was self-published under his own company, Verdugo Press, in late 2006. It was later picked up by the major publishing house Dutton and re-released in January 2009. His follow-up book Freedom™ was released in January 2010. The Wall Street Journal reported that Walter F. Parkes, who produced the 1983 film WarGames , had optioned the film rights to Daemon with Paramount Pictures in 2009, [3] but the rights likely reverted to Suarez in December 2012. [4]
Suarez announced in November 2011 that he was writing his third novel, "which deals with autonomous drones and next-gen, anonymous warfare".
