JOHN SCALZI is one of the most popular and acclaimed SF authors to emerge in the last decade. His massively successful debut Old Man's War won him science fiction's John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. His New York Times bestsellers include The Last Colony, Fuzzy Nation, and Redshirts; which won 2013's Hugo Award for Best Novel. Material from his widely read blog, Whatever, has also earned him two other Hugo Awards. Scalzi also serves as critic-at-large for LA Times.
He lives in Ohio with his wife and daughter.
Praise for Head On
"New and fresh....Scalzi's smirking, impish voice is a nice touch."
--NPR "Particularly relevant....A fun, breezy thriller, one that
showcases a world that carries with it some extremely astute
commentary on some of the real problems that we face in our own. "
--The Verge
"The Lock In universe is as fascinating as ever....Complex,
expansive....Pretty damn cool." --RT Book Reviews, 4 stars
"Head On doesn't care if you've read Lock In or not, but it does
care if you enjoy a mystery wrapped up inside a science fiction
novel....This might even be one of the best introductions to Scalzi
out there." --Culturess "[Scalzi's] prose flows like a river,
smoothly carrying us through the story; his characters are
beautifully crafted; and his future world is impeccably designed,
at the same time wildly imaginative and wholly plausible."
--Booklist, starred review "This taut mystery, filled with
memorable characters in a well-constructed world, will keep readers
on the edges of their seats." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Readers will definitely show up for the witty banter and smartass
takedowns....Very clever, wonderfully satisfying fun." --Kirkus "A
snappy, cannily-driven police procedural in which Scalzi highlights
and skewers contemporary issues and hypocrisies." --The Seattle
Review of Books "Scalzi is in good form again here with his usual
rich blend of smart, rapid-fire dialogue and well-paced bursts of
hard-hitting action." --Toronto Star
Praise for Lock In "This is the kind of thriller that Michael
Crichton, Lincoln Child, and James Rollins do so well. Add John
Scalzi to that list." --Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of The Kraken Project and Impact "As much as
Scalzi has the scientific creativity of a Michael Crichton, he also
has the procedural chops of a Stephen J. Canell to craft a whodunit
with buddy-cop charm and suspects aplenty--most of them in someone
else's body." --USA Today
"Satisfying." --NPR "Scalzi takes his work to an entirely new
level." --Cory Doctorow "A smart, thoughtful near-future
thriller.... This powerful novel will intrigue and entertain both
fans and newcomers." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "John
Scalzi may be the most entertaining writer in SF today." --Toronto
