Black Angels

by Sterling Hobbs

From the beginning of the Black Muslim religion in the United States a secret tribunal watched over the church, guiding its progress through their agents in key positions in the church. They were the "guardians," the Black Angels, a council of old men whose decisions were absolute-and often brutal. Enter Pisces, international political assassin, hired by the Angels to end the life of Elijah Muhammad, spiritual leader of the nation of Islam, so that the leadership of the church would continue through his son as they had ordained. And so the adventure begins, complicated by the fact that Pisces is being hunted by secret agents from another country in retribution for a previous assassination he had perpetrated. The hunter becomes the hunted. It all adds up to a thrilling chase, superbly written, which will keep the reader on the edge of his seat until the surprise ending.

[True Sankofa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Intriguing. Utilizes bits and pieces from Supreme Wisdom that those who study the lessons will pick up. Falls apart and feels rushed at the end but other than that, a "good read"
