About the Book

It began 99 years ago…

Three humble children, Portuguese peasants, were blessed with a vision of the Virgin Mary. She entrusted them with terrifying prophetic visions – the Three Secrets of Fatima

Over time, all three Secrets have purportedly been revealed to the public, the last in 2000 by Pope John Paul II who claimed that all of the prophecies had been fulfilled. But yet, controversy continues, and questions remain unanswered. Some wonder why the Third Secret was not released until decades after the first two had been revealed. Meanwhile rumors swirl that the Vatican has helped back parts of the third prophecy, for reasons that we can only speculate…

Peter Tanous weaves this speculation into a convincing, exciting, and spiritually-rewarding thriller about a pious and humble Priest, Kevin Thrall, who is handed a secret and vital task by the Vatican. Throughout this fascinating and gripping tale we learn the truth about the Secrets, and more about Father Kevin (who has his own secrets) as the plot masterfully unfolds one layer at a time.

The Secret of Fatima is a novel, but it is fiction based upon those rumors and unanswered questions. What if, the author asks, there is more to the Third Secret than we’ve been told? Is there a vast conspiracy to protect mankind form the truth of looming, world-threatening danger?

The Genesis of the Three Secrets of Fatima

One of the children, Lucia, later vividly described the first vision in her 1942 memoir:

Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselves together with great clouds of smoke, now falling back on every side like sparks in a huge fire, without weight or equilibrium, and amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear.
‘ The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repulsive likeness to frightful and unknown animals, all black and transparent. This vision lasted but an instant.’
