4.0 out of 5 stars
Worth a read. The reviews are overly negative., July 16 2009
By Phinius T. Barnham "Debunkologist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Third Revelation (Paperback)
This book is much better than the reviews it has garnered to date. Some criticism is valid but nonetheless it is an interesting blend of the factual and fanciful. Many references are to real people (some not well known outside Church circles) but some are also in the world of fiction. This will probably appeal most to a Catholic audience that takes seriously the travails of modern times, including inside the Church, but is still appreciative of exciting fiction and its ability to illuminate shadows of truth often slightly veiled. If that description fits you, read the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Topical book, well researched and entertaining., Aug 23 2009
By Giovanni Abrate - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Third Revelation (Paperback)
This is a well-researched book, much in the style of a Morris West novel. If you liked "The salamander", you'll enjoy this book. The topic will appeal mostly to Catholics who know the story of the Fatima apparitions. The book is very up to date, with references to very recent events; it is definitely politically incorrect in its treatment of the issue of Muslim imigration to Europe and the author often mentions Oriana Fallaci and her last three books. The first section of the book is gripping and well written; the book sags a bit in the middle and picks up a bit in the final chapters. Overall, it makes for an entertaining read and the author clearly knows his way around Rome and its restaurants! He only makes one factual error, when he attributes the design of the Swiss Guards' uniform to Leonardo da Vinci (it was designed by Michelangelo).
While this book is no masterpiece, it is entertaining and worth a read.

The Third Revelation, Dec 22 2011
By Eugene Mariani - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Third Revelation (Paperback)
If you've read and enjoyed anything by Morris West, you will surely find The Third Revelation a wonderfully entertaining novel. Beginning with the first murder of a Cardinal within the Vatican Walls through to the final pages of the book, the reader is taken on an adventure that is both thrilling and more than a bit thought provoking. Ralph McInerny demonstrates his profound sense of good research and ability to weave a story based on solid fact and flights of fanciful conjecture. Taking the controversy surrounding the announcement of the revelation of the Third Secret of Fatima, and using, at times, the words of living personages within the Vatican --- including Benedict XVI himself--- he weaves a tale of ecclesiastical intrigue and mayhem worthy of any good teller of mystery stories. There are a few inconsistencies and errors, but these are left to the reader to determine if he/she is so inclined. One sees also a continuation of the "end times" phenomenon so prevalent in today's conspiracy circles. This is a novel freely recommended as a great read.
