"As much as Scalzi has the scientific creativity of Michael
Crichton, he also has the procedural chops of a Stephen J. Cannell
to craft a whodunit with buddy-cop charm and suspects aplenty-most
of them in someone else's body."-- --USA Today on Lock In "If
anyone stands at the core of the American science fiction tradition
at the moment, it is Scalzi." --The Encyclopedia of Science
Fiction, Third Edition "Plenty of action, great character
development, vivid and believable world-building, and a
thought-provoking examination of disability culture and politics. .
. . Yet more evidence that Scalzi is a master at creating appealing
commercial fiction." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on Lock In
