Book Reviews of Sins of the Assassin: A Novel
Book Review: Assassin's Greed
Summary: 4 Stars
`Sins of the Assassin' is the second in a planned trilogy by Robert Ferrigno. The books are set in an alternative Universe where Islam has been adopted by the United States. Book 2 sees Rakkim return after defeating the plans of the evil `Old One' in the previous novel. However, if he thought the nation was safe he needs to think again as Christian fundamentalists in the Bible belt seem to have discovered the whereabouts of a potentially devastating weapon. Rakkim must go under cover into enemy territory alongside a socially unaware computer hacker to try and uncover the weapon first. Meanwhile his wife Sarah must remain hidden from the `Old One' who seeks revenge. Can Rakkim succeed in his quest or face the destruction of the new America?
Having read the first novel in this series I was a little worried in the direction Ferrigno was taking. I love his crime books so when he came out with a science fiction thriller I was surprised and a little disappointed. It seemed to me that the first book was a little too reactionary and painted the Muslim characters in a cartoon fashion. Luckily this has been fixed in `Sins' as Ferrigno has more moderate Muslim characters and leaves the more repellent elements for the extremists. The book is also more balanced as large parts of it are set in the alternative Bible belt and shows that both sides can be good or evil.
In terms of structure the parts in the Bible belt were interesting and exciting to read. I am unsure about some of the strange science fiction elements that creep in on occasion, but overall it is an action packed book that hints at Ferrigno getting back to his best. I just hope that the final book in the series ends it with a bang and not a whimper.
