John Scalzi
"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 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.

The setting for this book/series is a great, flavorful drawing point; it’d make a good TV show too, for that matter. I love the idea of 1% of the population going around in robot surrogates and the crimes and cases that can occur as a result.
The police procedural aspect is solidly done and kind of like a cozy blanket. The story starts with an odd death of a Haden athlete in the middle of a game. It’s something that shouldn’t happen considering it’s just a bunch of threeps (robots) on the field. Then the body count increases…. It doesn’t push the walls by any means, but honestly, that’s to its betterment, since the setting and characters are plenty.
While I love the setting, I adore the characters. Chris Shane is charming while Leslie Vann’s gruff attitude is endearing. The innocence of the former and coarseness of the latter clash and form humorous results that had me chuckling randomly as I recall them. They make an odd pairing of FBI partners, but it works.
Overall, I feel I can recommend this book and series to anyone. As I mentioned before, it’s like a good TV show, one that anyone can get into, whether they are a fan of scifi, mysteries, humor, or what have you.
When's the next book come out?
