The Audible and New York Times best-selling Dispatcher series returns with a brand-new mystery, performed by Zachary Quinto.

The world has changed. Now, when someone is murdered, they almost always come back to life—and there are professionals, called “dispatchers”, who kill in order to save lives, to give those near the end a second chance. Tony Valdez is a dispatcher, and he has never been busier.

But for as much as the world has changed, some things have stayed the same. Greed, corruption, and avarice are still in full swing. When Tony is called to a Chicago emergency room by an old friend and fellow dispatcher, he is suddenly and unwillingly thrown into a whirlpool of schemes and plots involving billions of dollars, with vast caches of wealth ranging from real estate to cryptocurrency up for grabs.

All Tony wants to do is keep his friend safe. But it’s hard to do when friends keep secrets, enemies offer seductive deals, and nothing is ever what it seems. The world has changed...but the stakes are still life and death.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Love this

all three have been enjoyable. they're a nice kind of short listen that gets me out of my usual reading, listening, and daily life. Although the pandemic stuff in this book was a bit more than I would have liked because of how much it's been talked about since 2019. It was still interesting to see what a pandemic would look like in this world of dispatchers.

Love the series

I was thrilled to see this third short. Appreciate the inclusion in the background of what a pandemic does within this one big difference world.

I was a little lost with who benefited and who suffered from the crypto info, but still love the noir of a mostly ethical person who has friends on both sides of the law.

if you're not sure how to feel about John Scalzi, this series is a great introduction. Scalzi offers the correct amount of movement forward in plot and flash back to not make your head spin. this series quickly rose to one of my favorites on a level of Old Man's War.

another great Scalzi series

Great entry, as good as first story the Dispatcher. But the sound volume fluctuates annoyingly throughout the first part.

Outstanding except for fluctuating sound!

I love this series. Zachary Quinto portraits this character in a way what makes me root for him and go have a beer with him. His voice is soothing to me I'm just as much a fan of Zachary as the series. Thanks for writing another one John!

love this series ❤️
