In the Heart of the Fire (Nameless: Season One, #1)

by Dean Koontz

Some psychologists would argue that a man stripped of his past must be an emotional cripple, because we are made of memories. However, this long-enduring world, wrapped in more mysteries than Nameless, functions superbly, and he also thrives, an enigma even to himself but with a solemn purpose.

I don’t want the reader to get the idea that Nameless is either fumbling through this mission or a mere puppet whose strings are being pulled; neither condition would be appealing. “He also thrives” and he has a “purpose.” He might be caught in a storm of Fate, but he can stand up to it and even accomplish things that he finds of value.
