I really wanted to hear Wil’s version, but couldn’t get back to it. Lock In (Narrated by Amber Benson) By: John Scalzi. When I started Amber’s version it was just out of curiosity… I was basically giving it a shot so I could try to understand why exactly they made two versions of this audiobook. The strange thing is that when the book finally came out and both the Wil Wheaton and Amber Benson versions were available to me, I couldn’t help but be drawn to Amber’s interpretation of the FBI: Agent Chris. Amber Benson was an unknown product to me, so I never thought to order her version. I booked Wil Wheaton’s version because of his excellent performances in Ready Player One, Redshirts, Fuzzy Nation, and The Android’s Dream.

A version narrated by Wil Wheaton and a version narrated by Amber Benson. By pre-ordering this novel, I got a copy of both versions of this audiobook. Having thoroughly enjoyed several of his previous offerings (Redshirts, Fuzzy Nation, The Android’s Dream), I’m the type to book new stuff from him ASAP.
