The location is Texas, which makes me grin since Trista and I moved to San Antonio almost a decade ago and now currently reside in Houston. The opening is poetic and pure Koontz, using some lovely imagery and a careful eye for language to draw readers into this hardboiled tale of good guys and vile ones. It gives us a heroic character, lets us see how his actions make a difference in a small town, and it gives us plenty of buildup for the coming series as well as some leads to explore in any future “seasons” the author might care to pen. In the Heart of the Fire kicks off the Nameless series, and it serves as a sort of pilot piece. The stories are now available, and it turns out that they are not independent tales but a sort of Have Gun Will Travel series about a man with no name who has paranormal awareness, a blank for a memory two years before the first story opens and a mission to wipe out the real scum of the earth. This time he is teaming up with for a series of original short stories and several novels.
