When I saw Deanna again, it wasn’t just her that was the surprise...
To anyone on the outside,
My life was a dream.
World-famous QB.
Penthouse.
Hummer.
Endless luxury.
Any damn woman I desired…
Until a trip back to my hometown showed me the past I’d left behind.
Deanna.
My Deanna.
My high school sweetheart and the only girl I’d ever truly loved.
Kindhearted and loyal.
Big green eyes.
Cute dimpled smile.
Slim curves that I always got lost in...
No woman has been able to match that since.
When Deanna and I broke up,
The world changed.
I changed.
At least, I thought I had.
But when we met again, as if by fate, Deanna had a secret.
A daughter.
My daughter.
She’s kept this from me for thirteen years. And although I want to make this – us – work, I’m not sure I can.
It all comes down to the same choice again: the game or her? Views: 35
"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*
John Scalzi returns with Head On, the standalone follow-up to the New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed Lock In. Chilling near-future SF with the thrills of a gritty cop procedural, Head On brings Scalzi's trademark snappy dialogue and technological speculation to the future world of sports.
Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent’s head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are “threeps,” robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden’s Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real and the crowds love it.
Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.
Is it an accident or murder? FBI agents and Haden-related crime investigators, Chris Shane and Leslie Vann, are called in to uncover the truth―and in doing so travel to the darker side of the fast-growing sport of Hilketa, where fortunes are made or lost, and where players and owners do whatever it takes to win, on and off the field.

An estimated 80,000 Americans are held in solitary confinement in prisons across the country. Solitary confinement, often in cells no bigger than 6 by 10 feet, means 24 hours per day with little or no meaningful human contact. Six By Ten explores the mental, physical, and spiritual impacts of America's widespread embrace of solitary confinement, as told through the first-person narratives of individuals subjected to solitary confinement, family members on the outside, and corrections officers. Each chapter presents a different individual's story and probes how Americans from all over the country and all walks of life find themselves held in solitary for years or even decades at a time.
