Brother G does it again "Long Live Memnon",
By
This review is from: "Ra Force Rising": Brother G (Shades of Memnon) (Paperback)
Here is the definition of a Griot/Jeli:The Grito/Jeli in Mande society was as a historian, advisor, arbitrator, praise singer (patronage), and storyteller. Essentially, these musicians were walking history books, preserving their ancient stories and traditions through song. They were said to have deep connections to spiritual, social, or political powers as music is associated as such. Speech is also said to have power as it can recreate history and relationships. This word Griot or Jeli perfectly describes Brother G (Except the singing part) and what he has created in the Memnon book series. He integrates perfectly History, Fantasy and Martial Arts to create a more universal view of the world during ancient times. I was sucked in with the first book and completely won over with the second book "Shades of Memnon: Ra Force Rising". As a lover of history and martial arts I have searched and read many books about African History and Martial Arts so I loved every minute of this book. I recommend this book to anyone who is tired of the lies about African people placed in history and ignoring of our warrior traditions. I also recommend this book to anyone who just wants a different more accurate view of ancient times. What I love most about this book is the way Brother G backs up all his ideas with cold hard examination of historical, literature and scientific information from various sources ancient and modern. The best example of this is Memnonia by Dr. Clyde Ahmed Winters. This kind of scholarship and dedication to his craft has greatly impressed me and shows that a great story can teach again just like in ancient times. All people of the African Diaspora should read this book series. I am looking for Kupigana Ngumi School right now. Hotep

WICKED BOOK!,
By
This review is from: "Ra Force Rising": Brother G (Shades of Memnon) (Paperback)
This was a WICKED follow up to the original. I wish it wasn't a seven book series just because I can't wait that long.This should definitely be made into a movie and promoted all around. I can't wait for Book 3!!!
