Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Story
Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent's head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are "threeps", robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real, and the crowds love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First, he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce - and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So, we fight, to defend Earth and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding.

Scalzi and & Qui Deliver on 2nd Dispatcher book!!
Great continuation and fervent wish to see more from John Scalzi and his 'Dispatcher'. Will be a great plus to be able to hear Zachary Quinto continue on as narrator. There are so many possibilities for the story line. It's been delightful to listen to. May there be more short stories (or longer).

Scalzi + Quinto, for the WIN!
I am a Scalzi fan. I am a Quinto fan. Together, they deliver.
Not a typical Scalzi but then his imagination is so “out there” that I’m not sure “typical” should ever be applied to him. Some are calling this series darker” but I’m not getting that vibe. It’s perhaps “quieter” in a weird way - the 1st person narrator is a very calm guy, and though he finds himself in bizarrely violent situations, he remains calm and soothing. That brings us to Zachary Quinto’s voice: so smooth that you want to go hang out with the Dispatcher just to put your mind at ease.

Delightful Mystery
When I listened to The Dispatcher in 2016 I was disappointed. I wanted more. A novel would have been nice, but there was no mention of a sequel or even a series of stories. Now out of the blue - the sequel is here! All the pieces come together in another tale of a world where murder isn't usually permanent. I hope rumors of a third story are true.

interesting but not very exciting
Interesting premise but it's not a very exciting book and the monotone delivery of the narrator doesn't help.
The narrator also can't pull of voices. most sound exactly same so lots of dialogue sections get confusing.
he tried to pull of some voices and accents but only some of the time but then that same character reverts to the normal.monotone voice.

Another great take on an interesting idea
I find the idea that death is only final when it's of natural causes or by your own hand - a murdered person's body disappears and reappers at home, alive and in the same condition as just before death. However, there's 1 in 1000 chance that it doesn't happen that way and is terminal... Scalzi once again uses this idea in a great way, and finding out the how's and why's behind this plot kept me entertained.

there are very few amount of books that are better than the original chapter 1. this book blew my mind. amazing story line.
i really missed some romance and slight actions, also I felt sometimes dialogues are too much narrative. and voice work was better in book 1.
but story wise this book is way better. loved it.

Impressively good!
Dispatcher Tony Valdez is finding the economic times tough and is taking on more questionable dispatches. When he gets caught up in a failed bank robbery, people around him start dying and staying dead. This sci-fi murder-mystery is an excellent followup to The Dispatcher. I couldn’t believe how much John Scalzi packed into this novella, it was exciting, complex, and action-packed without feeling rushed. I love the slightly sinister atmosphere of this series and the clipped, sharp focus and ironic tone Scalzi gives Tony. I REALLY hope there’ll be more coming! Gosh, I want actor Zachary Quinto to narrate more audiobooks, he is superb here.
