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.

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. The world of the locked in is changing, and with the change comes opportunities that the ambitious will seize at any cost. The investigation that began as a murder case takes Shane and Vann from the halls of corporate power to the virtual spaces of the locked in, and to the very heart of an emerging, surprising new human culture. It's nothing you could have expected.

Polished, Well-Balanced Gift Set with a Refined Scent
This gift set feels thoughtfully put together and well presented. The packaging looks clean and gift-ready without being excessive. The scent profile is balanced and subtle rather than overpowering. Each product feels cohesive as part of the set instead of random add-ins. Texture and absorption are comfortable for daily use. Nothing felt greasy or heavy after application. The set works well for travel or everyday grooming. It’s something I’d feel comfortable gifting without additional wrapping. Overall, it feels polished and intentionally curated.

Excellent products in this gift set
My husband tried a travel sized set of Atwater skin care products and has been really liking them. His skin has improved overall and he finds the routine of using these three basic products very doable and understandable. He always thought his body bar was all he needed for personal cleanliness, so it’s been a big change. The facial scrub and moisturizer combo keeps his skin clean and hydrated. His face looks brighter and smoother. I have noticed that the eye cream has reduced puffiness and under eye bags. This gift set of the same products he has been using only in full size is a great value for the size and quality of the products. He will be thrilled to get this!

Great set of skincare
This set of skincare designed for men comes in an attractive box that is designed for gifting. The products are all high quality. My favorite of the set is probably the eye cream since it’s unscented and is very moisturizing for the eye area even though it’s not a very heavy cream. The face scrub is not harsh but it’s a gentle exfoliating cleanser. The face moisturizer doesn’t irritate my face and absorbs quickly making my skin smooth.
