Head On is an excellent follow-up to Lock In - a new story with the same MCs that continues to explore how Hadens move through this version of the country as their status becomes more uncertain. Scalzi’s use of the “corruption in sports” angle is accessible for nearly any reader and adds an interesting dimension to the richness of Haden life…and the parallels to real-life marginalization of groups in our society. 

I also want my own Agent Vann as a partner.
