The best-selling author of Enigma and Fatherland turns to today's Vatican in a ripped-from-the-headlines novel, and gives us his most ambitious, page-turning thriller yet--where the power of God is nearly equaled by the ambition of men.

The pope is dead. Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, one hundred and eighteen cardinals from all over the globe will cast their votes in the world's most secretive election. They are holy men. But they have ambition. And they have rivals. Over the next seventy-two hours one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on Earth.

A solid, fascinating, positive work. However, it seemed the story was almost too predictable, and the novel was framed mostly to explain the rites and rituals of the Conclave. The story was a means, not the end. If I was going to summarize it, I'd call it Catholic HISTORICAL fiction.

Solid Catholic Historical Fiction

Well plotted, great word pictures, quick, educational read. Unlike most novels, this author knows how to write good endings. Reader was good, but alas, not John Lee.

Another great Robert Harris novel

Engaging story, if not quite as strong as some of Harris’ other books. Wonderful narrator: reads with intelligence and correct phrasing. Conveys different characters without any annoying ‘tricks’.
