Book Reviews of Demon (Gaea)
Book Review: DEMON, part three of the Gaea trilogy
Summary: 5 Stars
Cirroco and Gaby have quietly planned to overthrow the mad Titan, Gaea, right the wrongs done them and their friends and restore peace. Cirroccos rebelliousness has earned her a new title. Gaea is a bit miffed with her. The saga unfolds revealing just how vile a being with umimaginably huge power can be. Gaeas form is the Wheel, and while it cannot travel her power reaches even Earth, wreaking destruction.
DEMON is a gripping story and concludes the trilogy with bold, emotionally powerful strokes.
Like any really GOOD yarn, it leaves you dreaming of times, places and peoples that aren't!
Book Review: Demon
Summary: 5 Stars
All three books (Titan, Wizard, Demon) were fabulous. Without a doubt, one of the best series (or stand alone books) I have ever read. I had pretty much avoided science fiction for over a decade and a half until I read Varley's Steel Beach recently. Because of that book I was curious about what else the author might have written so I tried this series. Wow. The wit, insight and imagination combined with multiple characters that you really care for. And the love between the two main characters transformed this from an adventure to something great. Few characters in literature have been more heroic and tragic than the character of Gaby (my favorite character in the series). My only complaint- I want a fourth book!Book Review: Demon

I purchased this book as one of the three in this series. I had these books long ago and was so very happy to not only locate the books, but to purchase them at reasonable rates and in new book condition.Book Review: End of the series amazing conclusion
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the third in the Gaea (Gaia) trilogy by Varley and is the best one of the whole lot. While titan and wizard focus on the relationships between species, demon takes a wholly action viewpoint, and when you have man, titanide against crazed near goddess, you know the story has to be good.
If you skip any pages you will miss something. The story closes out how gabby will overthrow gaea, and preserve her friends from the earth space ship that crashed a hundred years back. You learn that the devastating war on earth was caused by Gaea, and how Gaea also tries to save people from their own problems on earth. You also learn how the heroine overthrows the power structure in association with the surviving members of the original space ship crew. Then there is the final battle that is just too wild to read and will not share that one here, you have to read the book.
This is another five of five star book, and probably some of the best things that varley has ever written. Worth getting and reading.
Book Review: Excellent in all ways
Summary: 5 Stars
If you at all enjoy reading scifi-fantasy, I highly recommend this book (the whole trilogy, actually). And luckily for you, it's in print again! Wonderful character development and personalities that it's easy to believe in. Totally unexpected plot twists and turns - you can't tell what will happen next. And you can't wait to find out. I have reread these three books 5 or 6 times (at least) and enjoy them every time.
