I'm really the opposite of a New Ager, and don't believe any deck of cards have powers or that the tarot cards have a mystical past going back to Egypt, but I loved the art and symbols of it all, so I adored how Anthony played with it and religious and spiritual themes. I discovered this trilogy in my teens right around the time I became fascinated with the Tarot. Tarot packs ordinarily have 21 trumps, Anthony has interpolations of his own. The first book was framed by the 9 trump cards of the Tarot, this novel is framed by the 11 more trump cards, and this book takes us to 28. He's sent by the head of his order to investigate reports that God has appeared on the planet Tarot. Brother Paul of the Holy Order of Vision is a monk on a future Earth that has expanded to the stars. Like say, Lord of the Rings, the three books are really one novel, not three novels with the same world and characters, so you should really read God of Tarot and Vision of Tarot first. This is the final book of the Tarot trilogy, and is no standalone.
