"the land clings to its darkness in spite of the moon."

"it’s not the kind of world that takes care of your troubles for you."

"As though on an invisible leash held by a ghostly hand, he crosses the street"
The Light Has Weight, but Darkness Does Not by Dean Koontz

"Rainer has a lot of time to consider how much the world is changing. It seems like most everyone has taken up several causes each and spends a lot of time shouting to one another about how virtuous they are without noticing that in spite of all this loud righteousness, just about everything is getting worse—maybe not in spite of it, but because of it. Rainer isn’t the most educated of individuals, having taken no classes after high school, but he’s read a lot of history for the pleasure of it, and he’s sure that when so many people take so much pride in their rectitude, there’s a perilous shortage of humility. Humble people know that no one can know everything, so they are less likely to saddle up and ride off a cliff just because the prideful have agreed their virtue requires everyone to believe that horses can fly. Humility is the mortar of civilization."
The Light Has Weight, but Darkness Does Not by Dean Koontz

"It is the history of evil people that they first seek to destroy innocence because innocence is beauty, and then seek to destroy what is merely beautiful because it reminds them of the innocence they have forsaken."

"under a blazing sea of stars and a moon that seems to spend more light on her than on anything else."
The Light Has Weight, but Darkness Does Not by Dean Koontz

"She wants freedom, but she mistakes other things for it. She’s always had freedom, it’s born in her, in us, we just have to know it and bring ourselves to open it, like the gift it is.”

"the world is a library and every person in it is an entire shelf of stories."
The Light Has Weight, but Darkness Does Not by Dean Koontz

"Family is the glue that holds the world together, even when it’s not a family of one blood."
The Light Has Weight, but Darkness Does Not by Dean Koontz

"Sometimes I think what prevents the darkness from coming down on us even faster is laughing at it. Evil withers at mockery, don’t you think?”
The Light Has Weight, but Darkness Does Not by Dean Koontz

Narrator always wonderful.

This season not as good as first season. Book one season one was the very best.

Nameless Series

I feel the Nameless series is the best thing that Dean Koontz has written. I hated for it to end. And Edoardo Ballerini is a riveting narrator. Could not stop until I got to the end of the series.

scarily captivating

this book will have you on the edge of you seat with suspense . I have already listened to the other books in this series and I can't wait to complete it. I really enjoyed this adventure in the nameless chapter. I can't wait till the mystery of his origins are fully revealed.

Great story

Super as all his stories . Many levels to delve into. Haunting as all cult stories .

Good series!

I thought this series was just ok when I started listening to it, but now I am hooked and looking forward to the next installment! The narrator, actor Edoardo Ballerini, sets just the right tone. He also sounds a lot like Christopher Walken. 😁
