About this listen
Winner, 2017 APA Audie Awards - Original Work
Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi.
One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know. But it changes everything: war, crime, daily life.
Tony Valdez is a Dispatcher - a licensed, bonded professional whose job is to humanely dispatch those whose circumstances put them in death's crosshairs, so they can have a second chance to avoid the reaper. But when a fellow Dispatcher and former friend is apparently kidnapped, Tony learns that there are some things that are worse than death and that some people are ready to do almost anything to avenge a supposed wrong.
It's a race against time for Valdez to find his friend before it's too late...before not even a Dispatcher can save him.

A good sci-fi story
If you are looking for something that you can finish within a couple of hours, then this is a good book to pick. Another great performance from Zachary Quinto. The man is just phenomenally talented.

Ok performance, Poor story
The performance is ok, would have preferred 2 people (one for Officer and one for Dispatcher) as it sometimes became difficult to keep track of who's saying what (since the tone and voice was the same for both)
The story is really poor....has many loopholes, it's like a child story where all ends well magically.
