Summary
From Hugo and Audie Award-winning author John Scalzi comes an exciting sequel to the New York Times best-selling, number one Audible hit The Dispatcher, performed by the incomparable Zachary Quinto.
Welcome to the new world, in which murder is all but a thing of the past. Because when someone kills you, 999 times out of 1,000, you instantly come back to life. In this world, there are dispatchers - licensed killers who step in when you’re at risk of a natural or unintentional death. They kill you - so you can live.
Tony Valdez is used to working his job as a dispatcher within the rules of the law and the state. But times are tough, and more and more Tony finds himself riding the line between what’s legal and what will pay his bills. After one of these shady gigs and after being a witness to a crime gone horribly wrong, Tony discovers that people around him are dying, for reasons that make no sense...and which just may implicate him.
Tony is running out of time: to solve the mystery of these deaths, to keep others from dying, and to keep himself from being a victim of what looks like murder, by other means.

Brilliant! Great find!
I’m new to John Scalzi’s work and chose this title plus the previous title in the Tony Valdez series because of the narrator - Zachary Quinto. Both books are brilliant in terms of story and narration. The whole concept of the “Dispatcher” is fascinating and it’s great to come across a unique and novel story like these, and as they are included in my subscription I didn’t need to use a credit for them. Thank you Audible.

Enjoyable and not too long
Really good crime story in the interesting settings, drawing on great classics such as Raymond Chandler’s and Phillip Dick (at least I hear the echo of their writing).
It’s my second one in the series- a perfect choice for compact and satisfying entertainment. Can be listened to in one go.

I am loving these short snappy stories by Scalzi.
Excellent story line as always and the dulcet tones of Zachary Quinto were made for telling great stories. May I have some more please.

Excellent performance, good story and well written
I've just binged on the three episodes in this series and gutted there's no more yet! It's an interesting concept that is brilliantly handled - and used as the stepping off point for the story.
