Secret of Fatima John R. Vanbuskirk

Secret of Fatima is an action and suspense novel centered on the eighty-year-old Roman Catholic mystery. On June 26, 2000, the Vatican released the original text that contained the prophetic vision of "an Angel pointing to the earth and flashing a flaming sword". It described the Holy Father, bishops, priests, and religious persons "being killed by a group of soldiers with bullets and arrows at the foot of the Cross".

Although the Church contends that the vision refers to the 1981 assassination attempt against John Paul II, many believe that it has yet to be fulfilled.

The novel, Secret of Fatima, is written by John R. VanBuskirk and published by 1stBooks Library.

The story is set prior to the secret being revealed publicly. It describes how the Vatican and CIA battle to recover the text stolen from papal archives. The Vatican, fearing the repercussion of an unplanned public announcement, chooses to mask the robbery, silence the thieves, and recover the text. The confrontation pits a monk and former CIA agent against the partner who betrayed him and the woman he once loved.

Secret of Fatima describes the apparitions of the three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal and the controversy surrounding the supernatural mystery. Action packed, thought provoking, and timely, Secret of Fatima is a must read for those intrigued with the events and messages of Fatima, and the interpretation of the recently released text.
