THE POWER OF GOD. THE AMBITION OF MEN.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, 118 cardinals are meeting in conclave to cast their votes in the world's most secretive election.

They are holy men. But they are ambitious. And they have rivals. Over the next 72 hours, one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on earth. Who will it be?

Critics' reviews

Harris’ superlative skill at depicting power politics makes this an irresistibly gripping papal page-turner.

Thriller of the year . . . with a plot so serpentine and sinuous that I could not bear to put it down. (Geoffrey Wansell)

‘I have been waiting for most of my life for Robert Harris to write a novel that is not gripping, insightful and entertaining. I am waiting still. His latest, Conclave, is superb. (Ben Macintyre)

A real page-turner, with a great twist in the final pages. (Libby Purves)

Finishing this splendid and intelligent story, as with all great fiction, brings an acute sense of loss. (Richard Susskind)

Robert Harris is incapable of writing a substandard novel. (Alan Johnson)

Each Robert Harris thriller is different but of exemplary consistency. (Ian Rankin)

Robert Harris is the master storyteller of our time . . . Beautifully constructed . . . it’s dramatically compelling, politically intelligent, beautifully paced and with a lovely twist in the tail . . . narrative doesn’t come better than this.

I am about to use a word I have never knowingly used in any review of any book ever. During my 25-odd years of writing about books I have done my best to avoid cliches, slipshod summaries, oracular pronouncements and indeed anything else that might appear emblazoned on a book jacket. Nonetheless, there is only one possible word to describe Robert Harris’s new novel, and it is this: unputdownable (Ian Sansom)

A master of producing thrillers of ever-tightening suspense, full of insider analysis of political power and the treatment of momentous events . . . gripping . . . more than a crime novel, it is also a psychological and political thriller . . . Conclave is a triumphant addition to Harris’ acclaimed output (David Grylls)

Wie immer wird man bei Robert Harris nicht enttäuscht.
Dieses Mal geht es um ein "Gedankenspiel" was wohl passieren würde, wenn der derzeitige Papst Franziskus (der im Buch anders heißt) stirbt.
Sehr schön und detailliert sind die Zusammenhänge zwischen den verschiedenen Einflußfaktoren während einer Papstwahl beschrieben.
Spannend bis zum Schluß.

Ein weiterer guter Robert Harris

Spannendes, interessantes Hörbuch. Fast in einem Zug durchgehört. Für den Schluss gibt es Punktabzug. Klasse und glaubwürdig... bis zum letzten Kapitel. Da blieb bei mir nur der Eindruck einer vertanen Chance und irritiertes Kopfschütteln.

Tolle Story... bescheuerter Schluss

Suspenseful till the very last page! A great read! Lots of interesting background information about the Vatican and the conclave. And the ending really took me by surprise. I recommend it highly!

A great read!
