Histoire
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Histoire
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

Not even a C-team on the best of days. And worse? Urmahon Beta, the planet, is at the ass-end of nowhere. Everybody expects this to be a long, ugly, and thankless job. Then it all goes disastrously wrong. What they thought was an uninhabited backwater turns out to be anything but empty.

Equipped with the entirety of human knowledge, a sentient ship is launched on a last-ditch journey to find a new home for civilization. Trillions of miles. Tens of thousands of years. In the space between, the AI has plenty of time to think about life, the vastness of the universe, everything it was meant to do, and—with a perspective created but not limited by humans—what it should do.

Even a short walk outside to visit with others is no longer necessary. Just load into the network and you can be with anyone, anywhere. For Asher Reinhart, nothing compares to Ignis; a live reality show that pushes human beings to their very extremes.

Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

Description
AudioFile Best Voices - Sci Fi, Fantasy, and Audio Theater, 2014
A blazingly inventive near-future thriller from the best-selling, Hugo Award-winning John Scalzi.
Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. 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. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.
A 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 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. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden client, then naming the suspect for the murder becomes that much more complicated.
But "complicated" doesn't begin to describe it. 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.
BONUS 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.

I have a new Author I really like!
This is my first novel by this author. It had a great story line which included material nothing close to anything I have ever read before. How refreshing!
The story was very original and the time went by like that. I couldn't believe it was the end of the book. I actually looked to see if I had a faulty audio version. Nope I didn't.
My only complaint is as time I got confused as to who was who. No big deal, I just had to go back a few times. Still 5 star worthy in my opinion. I presume there is another book in this series and will use a credit to get it!

Meh
I was glad to finish this book and wouldn’t recommend it. It’s kind of clunky. The author also says ‘he said’ or ‘she said’ sooooo often! It’s basically the only way they get a conversation going and it gets under your skin after a chapter.
Wil Wheaton did a great job though.

Interesting concept, poor characters and plot
Although the story was written within a very compelling world I found the story and characters quite dull. Beyond the characters being one dimensional the plot seemed to be full of ridiculously convenient plot devices and tropes.

Excellent book
The story starts off with a murder. Throughout the book we learn about a disease and how it impacts individuals and society. It's a layered world with realistic conflicts and motivations. Narration is excellent. I enjoyedthe novella at the end... clever depth and world building.

Great mystery/dystopian book!
An entertaining and action filled book. It can be a bit slow and difficult to understand at the beginning but once you understand what is really going on, you will be hooked. Mystery is a new genre to me (having only read Agatha Christie’s murder on the orient express) and it’s easily becoming one of my favorites thanks to this book.
Will Wheaton makes an awesome performance, really giving the character a very natural voice overall. Once you get over the “he said, she said” everything falls into place.
I had a distaste with the ending, that left me wanting more! But overall, it’s a great science fiction dystopian view of the future.
Cannot wait to begin Head On.

Good but not great
I had a hard time getting behind the concept of this one and a harder time getting behind the narration. While I don’t dislike Wil Wheaton I just don’t find his voice suiting to this story. Maybe he was trying to be a bit flatter to play off emotionless robot idea? But overall I feel like his narration hurt the story for me.

what a boring, short audiobook!
All buildup and no pay out. I've listened to hundreds of auditions and I don't think I've ever been more disappointed. In order to make the book seem longer, they added a random "novella" at the end, which doesn't translate well to audiobook at all. I won't be moving on with this series.

Feels like ready player one but not really?
It kindy feels like ready player one because of the Agora/Oasis similarities but other than being in the same genre that's pretty much all they have in common. Would have liked a deeper description of the characters and environment. Also the "I said" "she said" happens a looot. short back and forth dialogues go down badly when they're interrupted by descriptors all the time. The characters felt a little cliche and the protagonist didn't have as much actual character development as I would have liked (I liked how he showed his rich-boiness with frivolous purchases and off hand remarks, more of that).
Also the antagonist seemed pretty weak, the motivations were good but the execution felt a little convenient.
If you're looking for a decent sci-fi cop novel with an interesting take on legislature and disability this book is pretty good.
