Publisher's Summary
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’m looking forward to more. Zac Quinto narrates these so beautifully. I wish they were longer.

I am a fan of the main character, would her be called an anti hero or a flawed human being? And his friend the cop.

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.
