Perfectly cromulent Scalzi.

4 stars

I had had this one in the queue for a while and finally had a slot to read it in. The premise of this Scalziverse is 'police procedural in a world like our own except 3pc of the population run about in robots'. Scalzi has a lot of fun imagining how this type of thing will play out and we have a lot of fun following along with him. I feel, this series is maybe not his absolute best (Interdependency, Kaiju) but this is still damn fine entertainment. I thoroughly enjoyed this. No more really need be said. Recommended.

Review of 'Head on' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

"This is a nice sequel to the story and world Scalzi created with Lock In. While I enjoyed this novel, it doesn't have the unique flavor of the first because the world is already built and the mystery is familiar. We do learn a few new things about this world, and I would recommend this novel to folks who enjoyed the first.

My only struggle with this GoodReads review is three or four stars. I'm going with four because it's more than just passable. It's interesting and fun."
