Sabaka is a post apocalyptic short story of 220 KB available on the Amazon Kindle and was written in 2011. Tamara has been sent on a mission to fix some electrics in Outworld, the remains of our destroyed planet. All her life she has lived below ground in Inworld. There are legends about the dangers and monsters that inhabit Outworld, now Tamara will find out if any of the legends are true.
Sabaka is a very well told horror story. E. C. Belikov paints a very accurate picture of a possible workaday life in the near future. He describes this new world so well that Tamara appears just like the girl next door. I was surprised at how real this near future story felt.
I like the way this story is told. It is rather clever how Belikov has packed so much character, detail and action into such a short story. The quality of writing is good and Belikov clearly has the skill of telling a good tale. I can find nothing wrong with this eBook, so I will vote it the maximum of 5 stars.
The ending is good and when you go to sleep tonight you will wonder if there is a Sabaka creeping into your back garden.
