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

by Dean Koontz

Life is a weave of infinite possibilities, though some are more likely than others.

Those who are corrupted in turn corrupt the innocent. That is the only purpose of humanity: to deceive, to use, to dominate and destroy. If Russell doesn’t dominate others, he’ll be dominated, a fate he won’t accept.

He is the farthest thing from a madman. He is one of the few sane men in this world who know the truth of life, that it is a meaningless snarl out of which a man with willpower can weave whatever future he wants for himself. In a crisis, fortune favors the bold.
