from a review... "Some of the members of the Order of St. Leibowitz escape into interstellar space, with enough bishops to ensure the apostolic succession. They're on their way to the struggling colonies on other planets. Yet I think this is not the hopeful ending that it might at first appear to be: the monks take with them a copy of the memorabilia of the order, the very knowledge that's already doomed mankind on his original planet twice over. Miller seems to be saying that our moral sense will inevitably be overwhelmed by our monkey curiosity, and that we're powerless to avoid taking the seeds of our own destruction with us anywhere we go. Individual people might be saved by faith, but the race as a whole will continue to live out its days in anger and misery."
