The cruelest book in the Metro 2033 Universe series. The Pope died more than twenty years ago. The remnants of the Vatican survive in the grim undergrounds of Saint Callixtus. One day news arrives that in Venice there lives a Patriarch capable of leading the Holy Catholic Church. And a detachment of several Swiss Guards and, apparently, the last member of the Inquisition, John Daniels, set out for Venice.
This audiobook is harsh, perhaps brutally cruel, shockingly direct and therefore terrifying. It is a procession through snow- and ice-covered Italy of a Vatican Catholic priest and the last inquisitor on our planet, Father John Daniels. A path through pain, horror, and madness. A path in search of God, destiny, and Himself.
