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.

Great dialog, great characters, great plot, great narration = great book.
I listened to Book 2 before Book 1. That worked out ok. I liked Book 2 better than Book 1 but Book 1 was also great.
The author has an interesting base premise but he is not so self indulgent that he spends gobs of time trying to glorify it, burdening the reader with back story for it, having the characters praise it, etc.
Narrator is top shelf. This book can hold your attention well even if all you are doing is listening to it while alert yet the narrator is so smooth that you can also listen to this at bedtime.
I wish there were more than two books in this series, If there were ten more they would be my next ten listens,

Superb. Better than Book 1

A nice way to escape for a couple of hours! Zachary Quinto does a great job of capturing the essence of the story and characters.

A fun listen

Continues Scalzi’s “Dispatcher” concept in a short, self-contained story. A good one that kept me engaged!

Quick enjoyable tale

While not quite as powerful as part 1, this book is still a great follow up and does what I think Scalzi does best -- tweaking 1 thing about our world then following it to its twisted logical conclusions. I wouldn't mind hearing more from this world, especially with this narrator.

Great sequel

Good character dev in short format, the concept is interesting but simple enough to digest in the short format. More please!

These Scalzi shorts are great! More Dispatcher universe!

💜♥️💜
