Publisher's summary

To some he’s a medical genius. To others, a twisted angel of mercy with a necessary solution to what he sees as an ugly dilemma. Only one man can help Dr. Death face the evil of his ways.

Henry Siphuncle has a selfless mission: releasing his patients forever from their distasteful imperfections. It’s for their own good. And the world’s. Even Henry’s own wife didn’t survive his disgust. Nameless has tracked him across the country to an isolated rural community, where the residents are grateful for their new free clinic. For Henry, it might just be the end of the road.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz comes Gentle Is the Angel of Death, part 2 of Season 2 of Nameless, a gripping collection of stories about a man in search of the truth, the past, and those who owe a debt of blood. Follow him through each story, which can be read or listened to in a single sitting.

Eerie and disconcerting

Nameless continues his mission of saving individuals and stopping organized evil, though knows almost nothing of his past and what instigated this compulsion to right wrongs.

Nameless Book 2

Another fantastic story in the Nameless franchise. This time Nameless uses the name Keyser Soze from the Usual Suspects fame. This time Nameless goes after a twisted Doctor who thinks he is killing people compassionately . Great characters and storyline. Again Edoardo Ballerini does a master full job of narrating.

One of my favorite, favorite favorite

I know it’s really weird to say this but I’m crazy about nameless. And Dean Koontz is writing is just poetry. I can’t wait for the next one.

Excellent

Loving the series - the darkness of Human nature contrasted with fun quips. Excellent to listen to while traveling cross country.

Another excellent addition to the Nameless saga.

Once again Edoardo Ballerini and Dean Koontz filled my afternoon with an excellent tale. This second Nameless story from the second season was filled with action, suspense, and surprises. I’m constantly amazed as I listen to each new Nameless story that while there are similarities based on Nameless and the organization, the rest of each story is fresh and different. While these are short stories, I have found them to have as much depth as full-length novels. Listening to Mr. Ballerini’s narration has gone a long way in addicting me to the Nameless series and has me looking for more books he has narrated.

Enjoyed the Audible edition, but...

I've enjoyed all of the stories in season 1 and season 2 of the Nameless series. Edoardo Ballerini
is one of my favorite narrators. BUT...Mr. Koontz, even the hill people of Arkansas don't speak in that dialect. Their word choices aren't realistic. Mr. Ballerini's pronounciation of Ouachita is not how we pronounce it. In Arkansas it is pronounced WASH-uh-tah or WASH--uh-taw :)
