Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In "The Call of Darkness," rather than finding an idyllic community which, having triumphed over Evil, returns to its initial state of ecological and human values, we come across a society which is seemingly utopian and yet manifests numerous indications of strange manipulations in the hierarchy of authority and power, hinting at something being off balance in this carefree society, at something significantly wicked lying beneath the surface. Freedom has its limits here, the right to creating new life is limited as well, and certain rules and activities are enshrouded in a veil of secrecy. The laws of such literature, as "The Call of Darkness" has the status of an utopian novel in the trilogy, dictates that some of the characters must rebel and strive to reveal the secret. But that which is unknown by far surpasses the expectations of the characters. As they unravel the secret it becomes clear to them that the manipulation is not partial but consummate and all-pervasive, that the very Evil which was defeated decades earlier is now the true ruler, although hidden. The discovery of the secret results in the unmasking of stances: Evil is stripped bare and forced to openly step forward but is met by an evenly matched opponent in Good.

In the unbelievably dramatic unraveling of the novel's plot, the number of targets under attack peters out, leaving the sole surviving family on the planet as the victim. The final element of resistance is concentrated in the last surviving human being. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The entire trilogy "The Triangle of life" is set in a post-apocalyptic world and in the literary sense it actually intertwines elements and devices of the genres of science fiction, fantasy literature, and supernatural horror. The sequence of events is envisioned at once both simply and with incredible complexity, and its starting point lay in the pinnacle of human stupidity which we have just reason to fear happening upon us at some point in the future: a nuclear war. This topic was a particular favorite in both literary and cinematic science fiction at the peaks of the cold-war crisis during the fifties and eighties of the previous century. And just then, at the eve of a decade during which numerous notable films on "the day after" (obviously - after a nuclear catastrophe) came to be, the world of the Soviet bloc crumbled and man channeled his paranoia towards other manifest dangers: pollution, climatic changes and global warming, gene manipulation and cloning, terrorism. In step with the expectations of the reading public, science fiction novelists themselves turned to these topics, and the world's nuclear arsenal remained untouched. Yet the threat of an atomic mushroom still looms over our heads.The nuclear war in Sah's novel, "The Black Wall," destroyed the world as we know it, leaving behind but rare enclaves of survivors dispersed throughout the earth protecting their right to live with special technology. But mankind gave rise to something far worse than radiation and atomic-dust induced solar eclipses with his warheads. It awakened Primordial Evil. And that Primordial Evil (more easily understood if we more broadly refer to it as Satan) grows and increases its consciousness with far greater ease when found in an environment which is conducive to him. That consciousness gradually subjugates all the material world, steadily gathering the already diminished number of human beings in its clutches. The depredation of Evil reawakened is global and systematic. One by one the human enclaves fall, but the last one left standing, whose inhabitants developed their own consciousness, opposite to that of the omen of their attacker, persevere in desperate attempts to withstand Satan's assaults.
