Indeed, the Black Hand is well described, its organization is explained in efficient detail, its sphere of operations is well covered. I do agree, however, that examples of campaigns and characters would have greatly enhanced the quality of this book. There is much to be gleamed about the Black Hand from this title, but a sample of what it is like to be a member of a tribe a pack, an organization, is a method that the writer's of White Wolf did not employ in this particular installment and it leaves the book somewhat unfinished.

However, it is a solid addition to the line and no Sabbat worshiper should be without it. They can learn much from reading Caine's Chosen.

Not bad, an easy enough read. Gives a better idea of what the Black Hand is all about, what it is, and what it does.

It is a bit more sparse on details then I would like, and there are some things in here that REALY NEEDED TO BE FLESHED OUT, even with just some possibilities.

If you are a completist, or really, really like the Black Hand, then get this. If you just like to play Vampire, even in a Sabbat chronicle, you don't need this as much.
