Story
Corrigan Bain was retired. It wasn’t something he ever thought he’d be able to do. The problem was that the job he wanted to retire from wasn’t actually a job at all: Nobody paid him to do it, and nobody else did it. With very few exceptions, nobody even knew he was doing it. Corrigan called himself a fixer, because he fixed accidents that were about to happen. It was complicated and unrewarding, and even though doing it right meant saving someone, he didn’t enjoy it.

Story
When a spaceship landed in an open field in the quiet mill town of Sorrow Falls, Massachusetts, everyone realized humankind was not alone in the universe. With that realization everyone freaked out for a little while. Or almost everyone. The residents of Sorrow Falls took the news pretty well. This could have been due to a certain local quality of unflappability, or it could have been that in three years the ship did exactly nothing other than sit quietly in that field, and nobody understood the full extent of this nothing the ship was doing better than the people who lived right next door.

The whateverpocalypse. That’s what Touré, a twenty-something Cambridge coder, calls it after waking up one morning to find himself seemingly the only person left in the city. Once he finds Robbie and Carol, two equally disoriented Harvard freshmen, he realizes he isn’t alone, but the name sticks: Whateverpocalypse. But it doesn’t explain where everyone went. It doesn’t explain how the city became overgrown with vegetation in the space of a night. Or how wild animals with no fear of humans came to roam the streets.

Dib is an Earthlike planet, only slightly smaller, with shorter days and longer years, in orbit around twin suns. On the continent of Geo, in the city of Velon in the nation of Inimata, a man lies dead in his study. In life, Professor Orno Linus was a world-class scholar: an astrophysicist, a dead-language linguist, and an expert in (and apparent true believer of) the religious concept of the Cull, i.e., the end of the world. Widely respected, nothing about Linus’s expertise suggests somebody might want him dead.

She's been worshipped, feared, and hunted, but perhaps never understood. Now, she's trying to reconnect with the world, and finding that more challenging than anticipated. Can the oldest human on Earth rediscover her own humanity? Or will she decide the world isn't worth it?

Publisher's Summary
As a child, he dreamed of being a superhero. Most people never get to realize their childhood dreams, but Corrigan Bain has come close. He is a fixer. His job is to prevent accidents - to see the future and "fix" things before people get hurt. But the ability to see into the future, however limited, isn't always so simple. Sometimes not everyone can be saved.
"Don't let them know you can see them."
Graduate students from a local university are dying, and former lover and FBI agent Maggie Trent is the only person who believes their deaths aren't as accidental as they appear. But the truth can only be found in something from Corrigan Bain's past, and he's not interested in sharing that past, not even with Maggie.
To stop the deaths, Corrigan will have to face up to some old horrors, confront the possibility that he may be going mad, and find a way to stop a killer no one can see.
Corrigan Bain is going insane...or is he?
Because there's something in the future that doesn't want to be seen. It isn't human. It's got a taste for mayhem. And it is very, very angry.
By the author of the Immortal series and The Spaceship Next Door.

Well Worth Your Time
I've listened to all the Gene Doucette books available on Audible, and this one - like the others - didn't disappoint. It was unique - how could anyone come up with a protagonist who lives five seconds in the future? - and quite satisfying. Steve Carlson is an awesome narrator, I cannot imagine a better voice and delivery for this book.

Now, one of my favorite authors
I first discovered Mr Doucette's work with The Spaceship Next Door. I was intrigued so I bought The Immortal and continued to Fixer. I am hooked.
His works are diverse and original. There is a thrilling action that combines with a little horror as well as what are pleasant moments of being with sometimes quirky characters. I am messing this up horribly, sorry.
Anyway, I have joyfully gotten to add a new automatic-buy-favorite-author to my list.

Better story to think about than listen to.
The narrators voice is pleasant to listen to in the way that some sounds are very soothing to put someone to sleep. Unfortunately, this meant that to me, the entire book seemed very dull *while* listening and became enthralling only upon reflection. This is a good example of how a narrator can make or break a story. I’d rather read the hardcopy.

Interminable Time Travel
I liked Doucette' s Annie books (Sorrow Falls I & II)but this one just doesn't move. It seemed to me he had a pretty good idea but he got bogged down in the middle and then couldn't figure out how to end it. Steve Carlson is perfect for Doucette's narrative style.

I want more. This should be a series...
This piqued my interest because the description made me think of the late 90's tv show Early Edition, where a man receives tomorrow's newspaper every morning and then he tries to save people based on the articles.
The basic premise of this books seems almost identical, but in this book, the main character sees in the future and while it's implied he's been going out there saving random people on the streets, sort of like in the tv show, the story focuses on a bigger threat for the most part.
I've listened to some books where it took me somewhere around 5-9 hours to get interested in it, but this had me locked in since the beginning. I think it's because I liked the premise and it delivered on that almost immediately.
The pacing was a bit weird sometimes... It wrapped some things up really fast like there wasn't enough time to finish the sentence and then at times it was a bit sluggish. It almost seemed like it could've been a few books, but it was condensed into one.
I really loved the book and I'm definitely going to give it a second listen at some point.
As a side note... One of the stories in "The Immortal Chronicles, Book 3", had Corrigan's father or grandfather in it, I'm not exactly sure... it's been a while since I listened to that.
