Free Audiobook : The Dispatcher, by John Scalzi

What if death wasn’t always the end, but a reset button most people got to push? In "The Dispatcher," John Scalzi drops you into a world where murder victims vanish and pop back up alive, and Tony Valdez makes a living cleaning up the mess. Narrated with a gritty edge by Zachary Quinto, this audiobook hooks you fast, pulling you into a Chicago that’s familiar yet eerily off-kilter.

Tony’s job is simple on paper: be there when someone’s about to die on purpose, so they don’t stay dead. But when a friend goes missing, things spiral into a tangle of shady deals, desperate folks, and questions about why this whole system even exists. Scalzi keeps it tight and tense, mixing dark humor with a mystery that’s got more layers than you’d expect.

This listen is a quick, punchy ride that leaves you thinking long after it’s done. Quinto’s voice brings Tony to life, rough around the edges but sharp where it counts, making every twist feel personal. It’s a story that toys with life, death, and the gray spaces in between, daring you to guess what’s coming next.
