eBook Description: They were fifth-generation sign-language chimps. Their intelligence seemed almost human at times, but they didn't quite understand what humans were all
about. They thought of humans as immortal gods, until one day a scientist on the project contracted fatal cancer. Now the chimps must be told the
truth, but who could have known what the result would be?

The birth of religion among captive chimps! A fascinating story, very well told. Equally good, but very different, is Mike Resnick's "Barnaby in Exile." "Pope of the Chimps" also makes an interesting contrast with Silverberg's own story about a robot pope, "Good News from the Vatican." -Robert J. Sawyer, Fictionwise Recommender
