Review #1

The Dispatcher audiobook free

I will start by confessing that I have a soft spot for who done it’s.
I enjoyed the bit of science fiction that was woven into the story line and the fact that at least I didn’t know how this would wrap up. The characters were well developed and the repartee’ between the 2 main characters was a lot of fun. I smiled more than a few times. The analyzing of the process involved and the questions that following through with bringing an individual back from death came into the story very nicely and it did give one thought but not deeply.

The Dispatcher audiobook Series Shifters Unbound

John Scalzi’s The Dispatcher is undeniably a light, pulpy little story, and its weight is appropriate enough, given the novella’s origins as a 2-hour audiobook before being released in print. Essentially a quick little detective story with an unusual sci-fi conceit, The Dispatcher is a fast read, and one that’s pretty plot-heavy (again, appropriately so, given the genre). Nonetheless, the conceit here is so interesting, and Scalzi’s spitballing of ideas and moral questions so engaging, that it’ll give you more to chew on than you might expect – it just won’t stick with you that long.

That hook, though, is a great one. In Scalzi’s near-future, people have almost entirely stopped being murdered. Oh, people still die – there are suicides, disasters, and natural causes – but for some reason, murdering someone causes them to vanish and reappear back in their home, just as if they never died. And thus arises the job of a “dispatcher” – a person whose job it is to work alongside medical professionals and kill patients who are about to die of a botched surgery, or a bad treatment, or of untreated wounds – and give everyone involved a second chance.

Audiobook The Dispatcher by Cris Dukehart

This novella was initially written as an audio book, then later released as a print/e-book, rather than the other way round. I read the e-book version, and on the one hand I can sort of tell it was initially written to be heard rather than read – the narrative skews towards dialogue over action and doesn’t spend a lot of time on description. On the other hand, Scalzi’s books almost always tend to be dialogue-driven, so I’m not sure I would have guessed it started life as an audio book if I hadn’t already known that.

Apart from the format experiment, this is also something of a departure for Scalzi as he tries his hand at an urban fantasy/police procedural with a weird but interesting premise: people who are killed by other people – intentionally or otherwise – come back to life unharmed (or at least in the condition they were in a few hours before they were killed), although 999 times out 1,000 they stay dead. One eventual result of this new reality is the creation of an agency that employs ‘dispatchers’ – agents authorized by the govt to humanely kill critically injured or ill people in order to save them.

Scalzi explores this concept via Tony Valdez, a dispatcher roped into a police investigation when one of his fellow dispatchers goes missing. The mystery itself is interesting – can you get away with murder in a world where your victim won’t stay dead? – but so is the background world and the societal consequences that result in such a world. Scalzi leaves a lot of potential ground uncovered and doesn’t dig too deeply – mainly due to the length and audio-format limitations, I presume – but he does manage to cover quite a bit of ground within those limitations, such as the ethics of dispatching and the return of duelling. In any case, it’s an entertaining and thought-provoking story, and it’s a world I hope Scalzi returns to one day, because there’s a lot to play with here.

Audio The Dispatcher narrated by Cris Dukehart

I’m a big Scalzi fan but this book/novella really doesn’t tick any of his usual boxes. There’s no humour, you don’t immediately care about the characters and there is absolutely no science at all. Suspending disbelief is a given for any sufficiently entertaining book, but I’m afraid that the premise inherent to this tale is too big a turkey to swallow. The book reads like a TV series plug, and reading Scalzi’s blog I see that this is more than likely. Come on, John, this one is beneath you.

Free audio The Dispatcher – in the audio player below

Written with Scalzi’s unique style of characterisation and quirky sense of humour. For some, unexplained, reason murder victims are reborn. The body vanishes and they usually pop up naked back at their home. The dispatchers are professional “murderers” who dispatch terminally ill or mortally wounded subjects so that they can be reborn. Then there’s a mystery disappearance of a dispatcher….. There’s an abiding memory of a detective eating hot dogs with a dispatcher as they brainstorm the disappearance mystery – very John Scalzi.
