“Interesting Story And Characters.”
Based on Catholic belief that in the end times the
Anti-Christ will destroy the Holy City in Rome, Franz Laurenz (Pope John Paul
III) resigns and goes into hiding knowing the prophesy is coming to pass, and
the Apocalypse is upon the world. Peter Adam, a journalist with the Hamburg
news magazine, and Loretta Hooper, a reporter with the Washington Post are
searching for the missing Franz Laurenz to find out what is going on. People that
may know what is happening are being murdered, and Peter Adam is dreaming about
a bomb destroying the Holy City.
I received this as an ePub, and not sure if it was
just Season 1, or how many seasons. However, it was extremely long with 93 (XCIII)
chapters and an Epilogue. Season One has 545 pages, and Season Two has 482
pages. It must have been Season One, but it felt like both seasons. This was an
interesting story, with interesting characters. Not being Catholic, maybe I
didn’t understand a lot of the religious angle, but the story kept me involved
even if it did move slowly. Perhaps the reason for this is that it was written
as a serial, and the story is slowly being drawn out. I think it would read
better if tightened, and released as a shorter novel instead of in serial
format. Still, end of the world enthusiasts should enjoy this thriller set in
Rome during the last days.
