The Last Fisherman by Randy England
Convent Hill Publishing, 0967360706, $9.56

The Last Fisherman, Randy England's novel more or less the concluding Pope and the break of day of the antichrist, is unusual in that not merely is the message told from a Catholic tine of view, but from the religious text Catholic element of orientation. Where Bud MacFarlane's Pierced by a Sword has specified us an conception of the End Times according to Marian prophecy, The Last Fisherman plan flows along what we cognise from Revelations, which makes for a compelling and terrorizing tale, markedly when the resister - an American policy-maker who sounds all too familiarized to me - attempts to nick the worldwide low his normalize.

Brendan Shea, a youngish community clergyman whose special concerns at the commencing of Fisherman care the issues in his own community, is caught off his guard when he is nonappointive Pope minus the quality of having risen finished the ranks of the ceremonial series. Nevertheless, he accepts the function as God's Will, but near the new job there is presented a stand up to as a rogue body of people of Cardinals selected an anti-Pope whom the population prefers. Brendan, port to front the remains Church underground, fights to protect the Faith as the procephies of the Book of Revelation get all too true beneath the menacing government of the antichrist.

The Last Fisherman makes for a prompt read, as one may have commotion swing it low lacking decorativeness. My sole will is that the romance could have been longer; it is a trim photograph album but a completely literate one, a superior extra to the Catholic literary composition kind.
