The Cold War has ended. With a scope and daring not possible until now, an unlikely international alliance of top-level political, financial, and religious interests sees the way clear at last to its ultimate goal: the establishment of a single global society. Utopia.
With nothing in common but immense power and towering ambition for still more; with world unity and prosperity as their slogan; with betrayal, scandal, and murder as their ready weapons - these men have the means and the will to capture as their own the perfect global machinery for their plans: the oldest, wiliest, and most stable political chancery in the world. The Vatican.
At the vortex of this lethal struggle, along with embattled Pope, stand two American brothers, Paul and Christian Gladstone - one a lawyer and the other a priest - who appear to be the perfect pawns. One falls prey to the sharp teeth of greed. The other will become one of the Pope's closest allies . . . ultimately discovering the darkest of secrets in papal Rome.
From America to Europe to Russia, in broad landscapes and clandestine corridors, a rich and varied cast - presidents and politicians, saints and sinners, pope-makers and papal wannabes - clash amid dramatic and sometimes bloody events while the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
