About this ebook
The Pope declares he has received a private revelation that the world is about to end, and an old friend embarks on a dangerous journey to investigate whether he's mad or whether just possibly there's truth in it. The second novel in Morris West's internationally bestselling Vatican trilogy, it is the book he regarded as his best.
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 Clowns of God spent twenty-two weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and is the second novel in Morris West's Vatican trilogy.
'West is a skillful storyteller who knows how to build suspense into every twist of the plot.' The Christian Science Monitor
'Few writers of bestselling fiction have brought to the popular novel such acute intelligence and ethical perception.' Peter Pierce, The Australian

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting 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.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Written 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.
