Satan and the Comrades   By:

Book cover

Satan and the Comrades by Ralph Bennitt is a thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of morality, faith, and the human condition. Set in a dystopian world where social inequality and political corruption reign supreme, the story follows a group of individuals drawn together by their shared disillusionment with the oppressive regime.

One of the standout elements of this book is Bennitt's rich and imaginative world-building. The author paints a vivid picture of a society controlled by a tyrannical government, where poverty-stricken masses are confined to crowded, deplorable conditions while the ruling class enjoys wealth and power. The stark contrast between the haves and the have-nots serves as a backdrop against which the characters' struggles for justice and equality unfold.

In this gritty tale, the protagonist is confronted with a moral dilemma that navigates the moral grey areas. It challenges the reader to ponder the boundaries of right and wrong, as the characters find themselves trapped between the quest for freedom and the temptation to use unconventional methods to achieve their goals. Bennitt's exploration of the shades of grey in human nature adds a compelling layer to the narrative, forcing us to question our own notions of good and evil.

The pacing of the story remains consistently engaging, with the author expertly balancing moments of intensity and reflection. The plot unfolds smoothly, revealing unexpected twists and turns that keep the reader invested in the outcome. Each chapter builds upon the last, gradually unveiling the larger political and philosophical themes at play.

Additionally, the characters in Satan and the Comrades are skillfully developed, each with their unique motivations and complexities. From the disillusioned leader to the conflicted followers, each individual undergoes a transformative journey, allowing the reader to intimately connect with their struggles. Bennitt's ability to create believable and engaging characters greatly enhances the emotional depth of the story.

However, there are instances where the narrative becomes overly philosophical, with lengthy passages that slow down the momentum of the plot. While these introspective moments add depth, they might be better suited for a non-fiction exploration of the themes rather than within the framework of a fictional narrative.

Overall, Satan and the Comrades is a captivating and thought-provoking novel that seamlessly blends a dystopian setting, political intrigue, and ethical dilemmas. Ralph Bennitt's skillful storytelling and strong characterization make for an engaging read, inviting readers to question their own beliefs while bearing witness to a struggle for justice in an oppressive world. Fans of social and political commentary will find this a worthwhile and stimulating read.

Lucifer wasn't sure that just the right improvements had been made in Hell. So he used a dash of sulfur with Satanic skill.

Nick felt almost good humoredly buoyant after his year's holiday as a college boy. About a second after leaving Earth he slowed his traveling speed down to the medium velocity of light by shifting from fifth dimension to fourth. Though still a million miles above the wastes of Chaos and twice that distance from the gates of Hell, his X ray eyes were quick to discern a difference in the road far below him...
