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. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. 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.

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

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.

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.
