Description
AudioFile Best Voices - Sci Fi, Fantasy, and Audio Theater, 2014
A blazingly inventive near-future thriller from the best-selling, Hugo Award-winning John Scalzi.
Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.
A quarter of a century later, in a world shaped by what's now known as "Haden's syndrome", rookie FBI agent Chris Shane is paired with veteran agent Leslie Vann. The two of them are assigned what appears to be a Haden-related murder at the Watergate Hotel, with a suspect who is an "integrator" - someone who can let the locked in borrow their bodies for a time. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden client, then naming the suspect for the murder becomes that much more complicated.
But "complicated" doesn't begin to describe it. As Shane and Vann began to unravel the threads of the murder, it becomes clear that the real mystery - and the real crime - is bigger than anyone could have imagined.
BONUS AUDIO: Audible's audio edition of Lock In contains the bonus novella, Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome, written by John Scalzi and narrated by a full cast.

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

The chartered Zarathustra Company had it all their way. Their charter was for a Class III uninhabited planet, which Zarathustra was, and it meant they owned the planet lock stock and barrel. They exploited it, developed it and reaped the huge profits from it without interference from the Colonial Government. Then Jack Holloway, a sunstone prospector, appeared on the scene with his family of Fuzzies and the passionate conviction that they were not cute animals but little people.

Zack Lightman has never much cared for reality. He vastly prefers the countless science-fiction movies, books, and videogames he's spent his life consuming. And too often, he catches himself wishing that some fantastic, impossible, world-altering event could arrive to whisk him off on a grand spacefaring adventure.

In Still Just a Geek, Wil revisits his 2004 collection of blog posts, Just a Geek, filled with insightful and often laugh-out-loud annotated comments, additional later writings, and all new material written for this publication. The result is an incredibly raw and honest memoir, in which Wil opens up about his life, about falling in love, about coming to grips with his past work, choices, and family, and finding fulfillment in the new phases of his career.

An AI overseer and a human crew arrive on a distant planet to salvage an ancient UN starship. The overseer is unhappy. The crew, well, they're certainly no A-team. Not even a C-team on the best of days. And worse? Urmahon Beta, the planet, is at the ass-end of nowhere. Everybody expects this to be a long, ugly, and thankless job. Then it all goes disastrously wrong. What they thought was an uninhabited backwater turns out to be anything but empty.

Fun, ok but nothing too deep or special
It was OK. Felt like the film Surrogates meets World War Z. Wheaton was on point, and the world building was great. I found the story a little convoluted and the dialog was just so cliche. If you have any cliche criminal/lawyer/cop banter in mind while reading this review, I bet you it's verbatim in the book.
I think I preferred the afterword novella a little more (Unlocked) though it also screamed World War Z lite at me. If I can pick up Head On on sale I'll give the series another go.

Scalzi writes in an entertaining style. He incorporates many pop culture references in his stories. Locked In is a combination of sci-fi and murder mystery in one. #Audible1

Freakishly prescient and incredibly interesting
When I first picked this title up, I was certain it was written during or after the pandemic. It was not. It's basically a carbon copy of what happened, just with the idea of what could have been if even more money and tech were brought to bear on the problem.

Unexpectedly Good
I’m a Star Trek:Next Gen nut. I admit it. I bought this book because of the narrator. It took me a few tries to really sink into the story but once I got about an hour in, I was hooked.
#Audible1 There is so much to be appreciated about this book, beyond the story. How we treat the differently-abled, how we fund initiatives that allow them to fully participate in society and even the resentment of having to fund those initiatives. It’s presented in a fabulous story that made me really question who’s side I would be on.
I think this would make an excellent book club selection. I’m also considering buying the other narrator’s version and wonder how that would change the story.

Really enjoyed this book. Wil Wheaton always does a great job at narrating. The story line was very interesting and really seems like something that could happen in our own world, which as always makes the whole book more intriguing.

A Pandemic of a Different Colour
The death toll in the US had just hit 100,000 from a Covid-19 when I started this book. We haven’t seen the second wave yet but I hope the nations of the world will rise to the occasion to care and put the health of our neighbours first as done in this fictional world.
Also, it’s a damn fine who-dunnit tale with a great narrator. Good book. Good performance.

I have a new Author I really like!
This is my first novel by this author. It had a great story line which included material nothing close to anything I have ever read before. How refreshing!
The story was very original and the time went by like that. I couldn't believe it was the end of the book. I actually looked to see if I had a faulty audio version. Nope I didn't.
My only complaint is as time I got confused as to who was who. No big deal, I just had to go back a few times. Still 5 star worthy in my opinion. I presume there is another book in this series and will use a credit to get it!
