Great short stories!

These short stories are great. A man with amnesia who uses different names but is otherwise nameless. He has visions of hideous futures that sometimes he can change, other times he cannot. Either way , he is a.vigilante and anyone he sets his sights on should beware of that prickly feeling when you know someone is on to you. But don’t take it seriously enough to change.
Edoardo Ballerini does a wonderful job narrating.
This novella has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
There are six of these short stories. All are free to borrow with the kindle unlimited edition.

Disturbing & Excellent

As always, Dean Koontz weaves a story that keeps you from beginning to end. I loved the narrator! He made me forget I was listening to a book. I was concerned this book was too graphic for my taste but Koontz allows you to wait for the justice despite the wickedness. I think we all crave a good "they got what they deserved" story! Amazing! Thank you

Good Short Entries -Free Audible

This is a pretty good entry for Koontz. Enough suspense to keep me interested. Also, likable characters and strong plot. Very good narration.

Also, when you borrow the book from Amazon, click on the buy audible for 0, and you get the audio selection for free permanently. It becomes a part of your audible library even after you return the book to Amazon. Just a perk for Prime members. This offer may not be around forever.

Nameless deals with a corrupt Sheriff and associate. Dozens of missing people, mostly young girls, have gone missing since the Sheriff came into power. Great story and narration.

Jack Reacher/Jason Bourne

D K does again right down to the " signature " dog - on to the next installment😉

wonderful

I went through this book so fast! I'm glad there are 6 more in this series. on to #2!!

Perfect length!

This was the perfect length to listen to while I made dinner tonight. Good pacing and suspense, and I like the main character. Nameless has visions of the past and future, and the bad guy in this story really gets what is coming to him.

another Can't put down audiobook

very good story line, fantastic plot there really was 100% on point love listening to his voice.

In the Heart of the Fire

The story was good just as all Dean Koontz books and novels are, the biggest problem is the narrative. This narrator was very monotoned and foolish is some of the accents and girl type tones and quotes. Thus making it very hard to listen to and honestly, I won't be listening to another of his narratives. When one reads, even silently there is a certain sound that resonates through each story, this tone destroyed that for me.

Great stories with the perfect narrator..

Each book is wonderfully written.
You don't need the whole series as each book stands tall on it's own.
If you can buy them all it is well worth it.
I highly recommend them !!!

5/5*

Another gripping tale

Very well narrated. Atmospheric. Keeps you interested until the end which you don't want to rush.

Good, punchy short

An enjoyable short story that has me awaiting the next instalment.
Good characters and solid antihero.

Interesting plot but way too short

It was an interesting story and very easy to read through, I've finished it in less than an hour. However, I feel that the whole book is really short and more details could've been given about the characters and their background. Great performance of the reader, his voice is clear, with no difficult accent or boring, emotionless flow.

great story well read

this short story kept my interest from beginning to end.
I will be looking for the others in the series.
