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.
