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.
