It's one of those rare novels of recent years that reminds us of the potential for greatness that existed in the genre (S F Chronicle)
A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ, Walter M. Miller's first novel, was first published in 1960 and was immediately hailed as a classic; now, more than 37 years later, comes Miller's second novel. This sequel to A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ is a major science fiction publishing event and confirms his unique voice - witty, ironic and sophisticated - has remained undimmed. One thousand years after a nuclear holocaust, the Catholic Church is still in a power struggle with the temporal leaders of the devastated USA, leaders who control small city-states and expanses of broken country and desert. One of the leading churchmen of this period is Cardinal Brownpony, descended from the Nomads, wanderers of mixed descent. Through his schemes, Brownpony hopes to keep the church free of takeover by men of violence - but many of his enemies work from within the church itself... SAINT LEIBOWITZ is an extraordinary novel, compelling, challenging and visionary.
