Looks like a good read.

For once, even an informed Catholic reader can not only ponder, but even feel the magnitude of this extraordi­nary loss.

Catholic Ping!

This novel is engrossing for the matrix of experience it recovers, not only because of the window it opens on a violent, buried past. But it goes without saying that it has no purpose to entertain.

A book of fiction...Not written for entertainment...What's its purpose then...To fan the flames of a new Inquisition???

[Savage Beast]

Yes.

" the de facto tyranny that lunatics, little or big, far away or local, can exercise over the sane — if only their excuse co­incides with current official fabri­cations, and is backed with state machinery"

What a timeless warning!

What a description of the 21st century!

I loved this book. I think it will appeal to so many: Christians, whether congregationalist, Anglican, or Catholic (and I have been all of the above)--or anyone who wonders how Christians can kill one another in the name of the Gospel. Lovers of history, especially English history. And above all, lovers of fiction, those who know fiction often holds more truth than does "history."

This was a very good book, I love to read about the English martyrs.
