    About this ebook

    Pope Gregory XVII has spent a lifetime quietly serving the Church he loves—until he announces a prophecy so alarming that it threatens to tear the Vatican apart. Terrified, the Vatican cardinals imprison him in a monastery. Is he mad, as they believe, or is it all an elaborate plot? An old friend of the pope sets out on a risky quest to find out. On the way, he discovers the power of love and faith, while terrorists and politicians use every deadly and unholy means to stop him.

      THE queen’s annual 3pm Christmas broadcast became as much of a tradition as turkey and tinsel, mince pies and mistletoe. The tradition was started by her grandfather King George V as a radio message in 1932 and was first televised in 1957 – but it to

    • 4/5
      Interesting apocolypse story starting with the pope resigning because his vision of the end is more than a little uncomfortable for the rest of the hierarchy.
    • 3/5
      Written in late 70's early 80 anticipating a 3rd world war and nuclear holocaust.Interesting to read after all sorts of other things have happened - nuclear non-proliferation treaty, 911, Iraq, Afghanistan, and all sorts of other political events that were not even thought about at the time of writing.
