The Hand of Menes follows the story of The Hand of Menes (THOM), an African Secret Society that was created to unite Africa as one country under one ruler.
However, THOM's failure to achieve its centuries-old goal through diplomacy, brought the realisation that the colonial powers would never willingly grant Africa its freedom. In response, THOM created a warrior sect known as the Askaris.
In preparation for a military confrontation with neo-colonial powers, askaris are covertly deployed across the globe as sleeper cells to infiltrate governments and major institutions.
But when a rogue askari assassinates three white men from powerful political families in New York, the murders catch the attention of the FBI that makes the arrest of the assassin the top priority of its most skilled agent.
In a bid to safeguard its secrecy, THOM's leadership races against the FBI to annihilate the rogue askari, setting in motion a series of events that will either destroy THOM or set the stage for the liberation of Africa from the devastating clutches of European and Chinese powers.
Through vivid descriptions and emotional storytelling, "The Hand of Menes" teases one shocking question: what would become of the world if Africa became one superpower? It is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that will resonate with readers who appreciate disruptive & unique literary experiences.
