    About this ebook

    Iron-fisted Pope Leo XIV emerges from open heart surgery with the chilling realization that his reforms have devastated the Church. As he struggles to overcome the policies he himself put in place, he must battle enemies from within the Vatican, as well as Islamic terrorists determined to assassinate him. Amid political intrigue and counterespionage, his brilliant surgeon Salviati becomes a target too, along with Salviati's beautiful mistress, Tove, and her fragile daughter, as the plot builds to a dramatic climax. Lazarus completes Morris West's bestselling Vatican trilogy, following The Shoes of the Fisherman and The Clowns of God. It can also be read on its own as a gripping exploration of Church politics in a world of crises.

      A bit heavy on the detail of Vatican processes and systems but interesting exploration of individual struggles in faith and life.
    • 3/5
      I haven't read Morris West since the 1960s/70s and decided to see how he had lasted. Unfortunately, the only book I could get hold of quickly was Lazarus, written in 1990 - which spoiled the original objected a little.Anyway, the book was fine - well written, engaging characters and plot, but not quite gripping. Too many characters were just a little too good - at the top of their field, at the peak of their career, showing great potential for their future career, and so on. I staerted craving for someone more normal, more ordinary. The plot centres heavily around the Vatican and the mechanics of its operations. Gripping for some, but not so much for this reader.So, I can see why he was successful, and I'm ready to continue the project by finding a book of his that I read decades ago, and re-reading it.
