"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 what they see as a wrong."--Publisher.

Love Scalzi's world building submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on June 16, 2022, 10:23pm Sequel to The Dispatcher, this was very close to just as good (but slightly more convoluted, which distracted me from how good Scalzi’s writing is just a little). Scalzi is an absolute master at worldbuilding and what if stories, and the Dispatcher series is another great example. The audiobook narrator does a great job, as well. Highly recommended.
