In this sequel to Holy Fool, Holy Father, Marziani continues the journey of the young Jesuit priest turned pope just a few weeks after an apocalyptic-like solar flare has crippled the world. Financial systems have crashed, all communications are down, and an evil entity, calling itself "I AM" is raising its ugly head in the holy city of Jerusalem.

Pope Misha's prophetic foresight, a gift he credits from God, has allowed the Vatican and many of the Catholic seats worldwide to maintain communications through the archaic means of short-wave radio frequencies. They struggle to help their regions with food and shelter. Without working electrical grids worldwide, humankind is catapulted back hundreds of years to a time when families survived solely on their own wits and the church enclaves rely on the generators and provisions they stored in preparation of just such an event.

From the Vatican to the Holy City, Pope Misha, his celibate soul-partner Anastasia, and a faithful troupe of protectors and believers journey to confront the antichrist. Their mission? To halt the progress of a "new world order" that promises to strip humankind of its humanity, and perhaps even its eternity, in the guise of healing a world gone mad.
