Product Description

Review

'Conspiracies and plots abound . . . Berry handles his thriller tradecraft skilfully, [and] his descriptions are stellar.' (Booklist )

'The links to religion in The Da Vinci Code...pale beside those in The Third Secret. Here's a lurid, churning thriller...ruthless behind-the-scenes ambition in Vatican City...Berry raises this genre's stakes...' (New York Times )

'Pure intrigue. Pure fun'

(Clive Cussler on Steve Berry )

'Sexy, illuminating . . . my kind of thriller' (Dan Brown on THE AMBER ROOM )

'Writes with the self-assured style of a veteran'

(Dan Brown on Steve Berry )

'Grabby stuff'

(Wall Street Journal on THE TEMPLAR LEGACY )

'Steve Berry is a writer on the rise' (David Morrell, author of NIGHTSCAPE and CREEPERS )

'Intricate...pacy' (The Financial Express, India )

'Not to be missed. Anagrams and complicated symbology abound, and comparisons to The Da Vinci Code are inevitable, but Berry distinguishes himself with a complex, well-written, and extremely readable story.'

(Library Journal on THE TEMPLAR LEGACY )

'Sexy, illuminating . . . my kind of thriller.' (Dan Brown on THE AMBER ROOM )

'International intrigue, swashbuckling action, indestructible hero from the American South. . . . Not to be missed.' (Kirkus Reviews, on THE ROMANOV PROPHECY )


Product Description

What is the Third Secret?

It is rumoured to be a prediction so shocking that it has been locked away for over eighty years. Could this be what is drawing Pope Clement XV to the Vatican archive, night after sleepless night?

When Father Colin Michener is sent on a secret mission to the highlands of Romania, he is pitched into a vortex of suspicion, deceit, murder and forbidden passion. Suddenly, he is forced to face the very thing that has so distressed the Pope - and to unravel a mystery that will shake the world. (20060312)

4.0 out of 5 stars an endlessly gripping subject, 21 Jan 2006
By Klaus van Amelrode "kmcva" - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Third Secret: A Novel of Suspense (Hardcover)
seems to be the Vatican and its politics and secrecy. What can top this than a conclave! Centered around the conclave the reader finds an action packed thriller that never slows down. It is a persuasively written, fact based fiction. Of course, The DaVinci Code springs to one's mind but Steven Berry can hold this own among the major thriller writers. I did enjoy reading this book very much. I only rate it with 4 stars because I found the revelation of the third secret a bit flat. But the action till then is superb! Already looking forward to the publication of Berry's 4th book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 13 Jan 2007
By O. Doyle "celticshedevil" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Everyone seems to be throwing out books about the Catholic Church since the Da Vinci Code took off. Unlike a few others I actually really enjoyed the Da Vinci Code and being someone who enjoys conspiracy theories I was intrigued when I came across Steve Berry's The Third Secret. Granted it's a work of fiction but there's nothing like a bit of truth to make you wonder exactly where the fiction ends and the truth begins.

The story centers around the third secret of Fatima. Although the third secret of Fatima was released to the world by Pope John Paul II this secret was so different from the other two and so cryptic that many believe there was more to the secret than was published. Conspiracy theorists have even suggested that the real third secret is so shocking and devastating to the Catholic Church that it can never be revealed. Pope Clement XV has spent endless nights in the Vatican Secret Archives reading and re-reading the third secret translation but as the days wear on he becomes more and more withdrawn. He then dispatches Father Colin Michener to track down the author of the translation. What follows is a tale of intrigue, deceit and murder....and with the Vatican involved there's always loads of secrets.

I rank this book slightly above Da Vinci Code as it seems to have more fact and less fiction than Da Vinci. It's a fast paced thriller that will have you turning pages just so you can get to the end and find out what the third secret really is. And what a secret it is!!!! A definite hit!

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspence Writing At It's Best, 1 Sep 2006
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
When I was first asked to review this book I thought to myself that it would probably be just another book in the plethora of novels that seem to have hung on to the coat tails of the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Happily this is third book in the Da Vinci Code mould that I have read and I am surprised to say that they are all equally as good, or better than Dan Brown's book.

Many people dismissed the Da Vinci Code as a nonsensical, poorly written book, but to me they are missing the point. As with this book by Steve Berry they are written as entertainment, they are novels and nothing within them should be taken too seriously. The books must be made plausible or the reader will just dismiss them as nonsense.

The Third Secret has everything, travel in Europe, murder, deceit and hidden passion, it is entertaining and thought provoking, but still a work of fiction. It is a well thought out plot designed to entertain and sometimes shock the reader. Just read it for what it is and enjoy it.
