The Beast, 666 S. A. Abakwue

Indeed, THE BEAST, 666 is a creative combination of pure, Standard English Language, African or, 'pidgin' English Language, the elements of the Kiswahili, Spanish words, and many other great languages, including the all-great French, all in a new literary enterprise.

THE BEAST, 666 paints a world where everyone is a stranger---But, some strangers, in the strange world, act as if others were the only strangers in it. It is an eminently controversial novel--depicting trends and realities. It is a cave-like cult of fantasies, showcasing men who were once set up for good, only to release their raw, diabolic intentions. For example, a lot of the 'leaders', in the novel, are foolish: They are a bunch of empty egos, who play foolish games with the sacred lives of their fellow human beings.

Indeed, they are deluded by power; and, they are incapable of swimming out from the political Ocean of power intoxication. And, when the voice of reason rings its sound bell, they would so arrogantly refuse to listen.

Pride has become their altar of worship; and, they would hardly alter their ways, even when the light of wisdom has showered its rain of light, to re-direct them, from the obvious pit of darkness.
