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 …

Avoiding death by getting your friend to kill you

4 stars

At this point in the series, you should know that there will be lots of dying. With most of it not being permanent. And the "most" is what the plot centers around - getting someone to kill you so you don't die.

But people still die under suspicious circumstances.

The new and unique spin of this installment (pandemic references aside) is the very naked moral tale being told. Scalzi is not subtle here. Which does not spoil when the villains get their comeuppance one bit.
