THE UNRECOGNIZED

This excellent thriller by Rafał Kosowski takes us to distant times and worlds, to the realms of the age-long struggle between the forces of light and darkness. But it is not just another science-fiction novel to be read and forgotten. This story really happened.

All his thoughts and sensations lasted for less than a twinkle of an eye and the devilish squad was vanishing behind the hill in which his cavern was. In his thoughts Achim started to pray fervently but he had forgotten that in the world of the spirit a fervent prayer was like a shaft of light soaring into the sky and no demon could possibly fail to notice it. Another second passed and the man heard the raven’s wings in the air again.
“They’re coming back,” he thought with fright. He started praying even more ardently though his tongue refused obedience. “Sh’ma Yis’ra’eil… Sh’ma Yis’ra’eil Adonai Eloheinu… Adonai echad…” He thew out frantic syllables with his hands clenched so hard that the joints cracked.
“Hold your tongue, you sheep dog”. A cold voice thundered. “Your God is not helping anyone tonight anymore.”

The demons dashed their way. They knew it all too well that the boastfull words could at most impress mortals, while in fact their minds were filled with uncertainty and panic. They hated the situation they had to face whether they liked it or not. Hatred was the essence of their existence. They hated their prince as The Bearer of Light was unpredictable and despite his wisdom and might like a blindman he waded into the swamp from which he might never manage to get out. And they followed him into the swamp, which also filled them with rage. They hated one another for even the worst tyranny in the world of men was but a faint reflection of the relationships in their kingdom. The best way to have authority and esteem in the state of The Bearer of Light was to expose and ridicule other demons’ failures.
