Review of 'Lock In: A Novel of the Near Future (Lock In Series Book 1)' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
I think that space opera or satire works better than the "thriller/crime" science fiction scenario pictured here -- I just found the protagonist (a trust fund kid using a remote controlled robot because of paralysis) to be too trite and pat. I thought his FBI partner (a woman who drinks, smokes and has sex because of An Issue In Her Past) was trite and unrealistic. And I thought the villain (...) completely and utterly unbelievable.
I loved Redshirts, I loved the Old Man's War series, but I did not love this.
