A mysterious blue stone, The Eye of the Moon, is stolen from it's hiding place a week before a total eclipse of the sun is due to cast the town of Santa Mondega into darkness.
This is the cue for a whole host of characters to descend upon Santa Mondega in order to get their hands on this stone. All have their own reasons for wanting the stone, and only a few of them have good intentions. A few outsiders also get dragged into the search for the stone.
And after all of them is the Bourbon Kid, who orchestrated a massacre during the last eclipse, 5 years ago, and has returned for a repeat performance.
But who amongst these characters can be trusted, and is everybody really who they appear to be?
A lot of the answers to these questions can be found in The Book With No Name. But anybody who reads the book dies....
A fascinating story which managed to surprise me once or twice.
However, the writing wasn't great; could have done with more editing.
Still, not bad for an "originally self-published Internet sensation."
