The novel is set in the early 21st century. The unexpected election
of a panic striken but ultimately revolutionary Pope John XXIV
re-kindles the expectations generated by the Second Vatican
Council. But is does so at the cost of antagonizing powerful
interests, both inside and outside of the Catholic Church. An
unholy alliance of reactionary forces begins to form as politicians
and media barons realise that the Pope is not going to restrict his
reform agenda to matters ecclesiastical. An assassination attempt
fails, both to kill the Pope and to cause him to change direction.
Alarmed by the imminent prospect of war in the Middle East John
XXIV undertakes a peace mission, further alienating existing
enemies. His trip ends in tragedy but...out of the ashes
