In solitary you can stand, sit, move around (not much, but you can move), smell (but you might not want too), talk, feel, and see. It’s worse than life imprisonment in solitary confinement. The premise is one of the most terrifying things that could happen to a person. John Scalzi always seems to come up with new ideas or new twists on old ideas (is there really anything new under the sun?). 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.īONUS 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. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden client, then naming the suspect for the murder becomes that much more complicated.īut "complicated" doesn't begin to describe it. 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. The world changes to meet the challenge.Ī 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 disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. 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. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. This is fantastic." (John Scalzi)Ī blazingly inventive near-future thriller from the best-selling, Hugo Award-winning John Scalzi.
As the author, I’m impressed with Audible’s commitment to my narrative - and I’m geeking out that both Wil and Amber are reading my book. There's a really excellent reason for Lock In to have two entirely different versions, so when it came time to make the audiobook, Audible did an ingenious thing: they asked both Wil Wheaton and Amber Benson to record entire versions of the book. "I love working with Audible, in no small part because they’re committed to doing what’s right, both for my books, and the people who listen to those books.
