The Daimones Trilogy is a post-apocalyptic story where one of the dominant races in the galaxy culls the human race for inscrutable reasons.
Vol.1, "Daimones", introduces readers to a silent but deadly invasion that leaves the few survivors befuddled, wary, and broken. Dan Amenta and his family awake one day in a world where everyone is dead but no evidence points to a cause. Initial searches for survivors yield nothing and—in panic—the family turns their house into a stronghold.
Eventually, they find Laura, a young, sexy, and disruptive girl who have seen…things. Her presence adds questions about what is moral and ethical in this new reality. She manages to win their hearts...and leads Dan to temptation. Laura reveals her panicking encounter with strange entities which Dan recognizes in his childhood hallucinations.
Dan forces himself to find and confront them: an older power—the Moîrai—controls the fate of men. A few Selected—as they are called by the aliens—will face the ultimate quest: a painful genetic transformation and work toward the rebirth of a new human race, or oblivion and death in isolation. They are surrounded by other humans, the 'spared ones' the aliens allowed to live to better support the transformation of their ‘selected’ human specimens.
In Vol.2, "Once Humans", mankind is undergoing rebirth, the spared ones are closely watched by the Selected: the transgenic beings created by the Moîrai. People thrive with the aliens' support and peace and security reign on Eridu, as the planet Earth is known by the Moîrai and in the galaxy. But peace and security of the cradle are shattered by acts of sabotage set to disrupt the fragile balance of the fledgling communities.
The events reveal a cosmic conspiracy—and involving other races—full of betrayal and fear, being hatched with the hope of pushing the world perilously close to the brink of self-destruction.
The last volume of the series, “The Rise of the Phoenix”, sees the death of the last spared human on Earth. The new race of man—the Selected and their progeny—has no more moral obligations, and its leadership can now prepare for revenge. Confusion, sadness, and fear mix into Dan's mind, and doubts accompany him as he becomes the leader of transgenic humans. A new neurological drug, Fusion, is heavily produced on Eridu and has created the path for a rapid evolution of the new humans, richness and good fortune.
The past events--Daimones Trilogy Vol.2--revealed the crucial role the humans have in the galaxy organization...and made them aware of their strength. Once Hope, the last surviving daughter of Dan Amenta leaves this life, a moral obligation suddenly is no more. Things can change, and they must. A new order and a new course will put in place the events the Moîrai have sewn and destined to rip apart the foundations of the galaxy.
