Product Information
"As much as Scalzi has the scientific creativity of a Michael Crichton, he also has the procedural chops of a Stephen J. Canell to craft a whodunit with buddy-cop charm and suspects aplenty--most of them in someone else's body." -- USA Today John Scalzi returns with Head On, the standalone follow-up to the New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed Lock In . Chilling near-future SF with the thrills of a gritty cop procedural, Head On brings Scalzi's trademark snappy dialogue and technological speculation to the future world of sports. Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent's head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are "threeps," robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real and the crowds love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field. Is it an accident or murder? FBI agents and Haden-related crime investigators, Chris Shane and Leslie Vann, are called in to uncover the truth--and in doing so travel to the darker side of the fast-growing sport of Hilketa, where fortunes are made or lost, and where players and owners do whatever it takes to win, on and off the field.

Praise for Head On "New and fresh....Scalzi's smirking, impish voice is a nice touch." --NPR "Particularly relevant....A fun, breezy thriller, one that showcases a world that carries with it some extremely astute commentary on some of the real problems that we face in our own. " -- The Verge "The Lock In universe is as fascinating as ever....Complex, expansive....Pretty damn cool." -- RT Book Reviews , 4 stars "Head On doesn't care if you've read Lock In or not, but it does care if you enjoy a mystery wrapped up inside a science fiction novel....This might even be one of the best introductions to Scalzi out there." -- Culturess "[Scalzi's] prose flows like a river, smoothly carrying us through the story; his characters are beautifully crafted; and his future world is impeccably designed, at the same time wildly imaginative and wholly plausible." -- Booklist , starred review "This taut mystery, filled with memorable characters in a well-constructed world, will keep readers on the edges of their seats." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Readers will definitely showup for the witty banter and smartass takedowns....Very clever, wonderfully satisfying fun." -- Kirkus "A snappy, cannily-driven police procedural in which Scalzi highlights and skewers contemporary issues and hypocrisies." -- The Seattle Review of Books "Scalzi is in good form again here with his usual rich blend of smart, rapid-fire dialogue and well-paced bursts of hard-hitting action." -- Toronto Star Praise for Lock In "This is the kind of thriller that Michael Crichton, Lincoln Child, and James Rollins do so well.
