About this listen

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.

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.

Excellent performance, good story and well written

This is the second book by this author I have listened to. Again, this was great, story, characters, and narrator.

A must listen.

Very good story line. Enjoyed it. Whole idea is very unique. Recommend it as a light reading

Interesting read

The story runs at a good pace with believable characters in a slightly different world to our own but so close as to be a police procedural with a twist rather than an outlandish fantasy.

Short but very sweet indeed.

Quinto is a fantastic narrator

It a brilliant follow up to books 1.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book 2.
Crime thriller and Sci-Fi Fantasy rolled into one. Zachary Quito’s performance is great.

Brilliant Sequel !

Really enjoyed this development in the world. Made me realise that I'd greatly enjoy following this series if there were more installments. They're also very consumable length stories. You don't need to have read the first to enjoy this book but it's worth it.

More enthralling than the first

Another interesting story about the Despatcher, brought to life by the excellent narration. A great bonus that this is included with the Audible subscription.

Fantastic Performance

Read the first, ok I thought. The idea’s absurd but ok story. The 2nd book in the series? Just as absurd and still as good. The reader helped.

Why did I enjoy this?
