Targeter

by Midhat Ajanovic

Overview

How easy is it, really, to find one’s way in this confusing world, so unfriendly to an ordinary human who just wants to mow his yard and live in peace, while tragedies and wars multiply around him? When there is no other answer, a strange, perhaps even paranormal, phenomenon is created, shattering everyone and everything in its path.

Targeter is a satirical short novel with elements of SF, originally written in an archaic Bosnian dialect. Inspired by medieval Bosnian myths, the narrative follows a family from East Bosnia through the ages. Certain family members carry a heavy burden – to fight the hatred and anger that distorts all that is human. They do so by enduring all kinds of injustice, and trying not to succumb to provocation. If one of them becomes enraged, Targeter arrives, and disaster looms …
Being human means not always thinking about your own needs, and the novel explains the consequences of ignoring this fundamental rule.
