About this listen

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.

I very much enjoy Scalzi's work and once again he delivers another solid and enjoyable story where he manages to put another little spin on the basic Dispatcher premise. Great narration, of course!

Another great listen

Just the right side of knowing in the writing and definitely waiting for the tv series producers to ring.

As always John Scalzi produces a fun, sly, quirky story. Love the Dispatcher stories. You should read all of them.

A most excellent story

Tony Valdez is a dispatcher. He kills people for a living. No, not like that. In this world those people murdered (as opposed to those who die naturally, or by accident, or suicide) come back to life, reappearing in the place they’ve always felt safest. So, licensed dispatchers can kill those maimed in an accident or on the verge of death because of (say) surgery that’s gone wrong, and they’ll reappear (probably in their own beds) to have another chance of living, restored to the condition they were in a few hours earlier. Tony is busy doing his job in a hospital (which includes counselling families about when dispatch is not right for their loved ones – ones with terminal illness for instance) when he’s called to the emergency room, to an old friend who has been badly injured falling out of a car on the freeway. Before the friend is dispatched, he secretly gives Tony a crypto-wallet, and from then on Tony is involved in a world of schemes and billion-dollar plots with vast cryptocurrency accounts in the balance, and some of Chicago’s wealthiest billionaires vying with each other for both the crypto-wallet and Tony’s friend. It’s a tightly-knitted plot and Zachary Quinto is perfect to voice Tony Valdez. In fact, if they ever film this, he IS Tony Valdez – and I’d like to see that.

Excellent

Interesting story, if not as interesting as the others. Didn't feel as centered on the dispatching elements as the others, which is a shame, but still very enjoyable.

Weakest of the three but still very good

good story with nice twists and turns. I do like this narrator, makes the story come alive without being over the top

a good story

Another solid Dispatcher novel, well read by Quinto, and just as exciting as the previous two. This one had less of the relationship between Tony and his detective friend, which was a shame as I do enjoy their banter, but overall it was still an enjoyable, edge of your seat read.

Three for Three on the Dispatcher novels

This been the 3rd book and having listened to all 3 in a row over 2 and a bit days says a lot about the quality of the story lines.

Grate story idea that could run forever.

Good story

I realise it was paid for by Amazon but weird to hear the echo show and Alexa get shutouts so much.

excellent series but weird references to Amazon
