Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real and the crowds love it. But all the players are “threeps,” robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden’s Syndrome, so anything goes. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent’s head and carry it through the goalposts. Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. 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.
John Scalzi returns with Head On, the standalone follow-up to the New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed Lock In.
