Amazing Stories - Head On: A Novel of the Near Future

Hilketa is a fast-paced, violent sport where players, using robot-like bodies called "threeps," attack each other with swords and hammers to capture and score their opponent’s head. Since the players are remotely controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome, the physical damage is consequence-free, making the sport wildly popular for its brutal spectacle. However, the thrill turns deadly when a star athlete unexpectedly dies during a match.
