Book Review – Sins of the Assassin – Robert Ferrigno
In the year 2043 the United States that is split in two. One half ruled by Islam, the other Christianity. Both struggling to survive and both under attack from within and without. Rakkim Epps, a muslim shadow warrior must travel from the Islamic Republic in the north west of the country south and east to to stop a warlord from finding and using a weapon from many years before.
The second book in the triolgy, Sins of the Assassin doesn’t waste much time letting the reader catch up on the first book, Prayers for the Assassin, and to be honest it doesn’t need to. The back story is filled in as the plot progresses. The main character, Rakkim, is very enjoyable to read. He is as quick to think as he is to kill, and yet, he isn’t just a
weapon. The other characters are also fun although not to the same extent with the exception of Leo, who perhaps adds some needed levity.
The furture is not a shiny one with clean streets and happy children, far from it, but Sins of the Assassin makes it seem like an interesting place all the same. A very good followup to the first book!
