Head On review
Tags:Book Of The Year 2018, Book Reviews, Books, John Scalzi
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.
I’m not a fan of mystery novels, I’m also not a fan of sports novels, but I definitely like books about robots, which Head On sorta has. There’s an interesting hook to the telepresense sports league but I was never pulled into the story the way that I’m accustomed to with Scalzi’s novels. I think i’ll skip the next one in this series, if there are any.
