REVIEW: In the Heart of the Fire

In the Heart of the Fire
Author: Dean Koontz

He is called Nameless. He doesn't remember his name or his past. The man is a wanderer, a whisp of smoke, a force to be reckoned with that will be forgotten after he leaves. He is a killer....but only of those who need killing. He receives assignments from a person known only as Ace of Diamonds. And then he kills. Quick. Clean. No trace left behind.

In this first Nameless story, the target is a pedophile sheriff. He has been victimizing people for a long time, destroying the proof of his deeds. Nameless comes to town to make him pay.

There are six stories in the Nameless series. The tales are short and easily read (or listened to) in one go. The series is included with Prime Reading, Kindle Unlimited and Audible Originals. I chose to listen to the audio version. Narrated by Edoardo Ballerini, the audio is just over 1.5 hours long. It was an easy listening length to enjoy while preparing breakfast for the family and dropping everyone off at work and school. Great start to a series....I'm anxious to learn what happens in the rest of the stories!

I like these collections of Amazon Original Stories. They are perfect length for listening to in one session and there are a variety of topics...true crime, dystopian apocalypse, the future, climate change, family secrets and more. I also like the fact that the audible narration is included with the KU or Prime Reading ebook. Perfect length for casual listening.

I'm definitely going to listen to the rest of this collection. Suspenseful, entertaining and an interesting take on the vigilante assassin plot.
