Out on the Frontier, the killers called the "Nameless" have no wanted posters--because everyone they go after winds up dead. Now D must measure his sword against these grotesque and deadly freaks!

Hired by the mayor of Schwartzen to stop a corrupt political ploy that would sacrifice human lives to appease the local Noble, Grand Duke Bergenzy, the vampire hunter arrives in town to find his client has himself dropped dead under suspicious circumstances. His widow, wanting no more bloodshed, begs D to simply forget the job--but D's interest in the job is just beginning...

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

The later books in this series can be extremely sloppy , I can’t tell if it is rushed writing or poor translation, but this one felt much truer to D’s character and plot line. Had a good mix of moral and ethical questions, and a hint of emotion. Exactly what I crave in this series that’s often surreal yet disconnected, and flawed. Luckily the narrative was much clearer in this story, the only slight nitpick is a large cast of background characters that are hard to follow and usually don’t have much impact on the story.

Solid addition. Good action, no super silly women. Not as deep as some.

Another great book and a VHD series

Has a little bit more substance than prior bucks which is good because things started to get a little boring but as always I will always read any vampire Hunter D book.
