Title: Head On (Narrated by Wil Wheaton) Pdf
"As much as Scalzi has the scientific creativity of a Michael Crichton, he also has the procedural chops of a Stephen J. Cannell 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 stand-alone follow-up to the New York Times best-selling 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.
awesome pure scalziJust average I've read almost everything he's published. Most of his books have been amazing. "Old Man's War" and "Zoe's Tale" being my favorites. His reworking of old tropes is unique.The original "Locked In" seemed a little to obviously intended for movie treatment. The sequel just seemed "uninspired."Scalzi is brilliant! First I have to state Scalzi is still at the top of my most favorite authors if not the most favorite. I would have liked to give this one 4.5 stars if that would be possible, but after much consideration, I decided to give it 4.This is fantastically written, and the dialogues are witty and funny as hell. It almost felt like sometimes that the characters are in a Quentin Tarantino movie. The world is also really interesting and very coherent. I hope he will continue to write stories happening here.So, the sole reason I gave it only 4 is that this is first and foremost a detective story in a sci-fi setting and I like his space operas much better. It is a brilliant and complicated detective story, with conspiracy and plot twists all the way. If that's your genre, you will love this. If you like sci-fi as well, you will be absolutely lost in this one.I feel like this is somewhat similar to Asimov's detective stories, which I also liked, but were never my favorites among his works.So, I recommend this one wholeheartedly either to crime story or sci-fi fans and if you are both, it's even better.Meanwhile, I am sure I will buy and read any other books by Scalzi if he decides to continue this saga, but I'm eagerly waiting for him to continue the Interdependency series or maybe dare to dream about another installment in the Old Man's War books.
