This is it! The SHOCKING CONCLUSION to the VATICAN ASSASSIN TRILOGY! Bernard Campion, "BC", has been an Assassin for the Pope - The Vatican's Ambassador to Lunar Prime - CEO of The Project - Head of the UTZ Council - and now he's the Pope of the New catholic Church, the NcC. But the mantle sits uneasily on BC. The Universal Trade Zone (UTZ) and The Universal Islamic Nation (UIN) are now forced to work together in the face of dual threats: The alien race, The Eldred and the recently revived survivor of the race known as the Ancient Enemy - Dolomay. Can BC remain Pope and still lead the battle against The Eldred and Dolomay? Can humanity come together to face those who would enslave them... or worse? It all comes to a head. There will be war... but who will be fighting who? Find out the answers - in VATICAN ABDICATOR!

Appendix Part Four 1:08:13

Vatican Abdicator and the entire Vatican Assassin Trilogy conclude with this episode covering the last of the Appendix material. This includes the second half of "The Future of The Future" - my name for the outline I worked from as I wrote my three books. It's not quite the original outline, but this second half especially contains pretty much the raw ideas as I was first writing them down. Plot points and other story elements changed between this and the finished books and so, once again, this outline reads like a summary of the trilogy that gets some things wrong! This second half covers the end of "Vatican Ambassador" and all of "Vatican Abdicator". Following the "Future of the Future" are two additional outlines, the "Alien Timeline" and the history of "The Project". These are a bit repetitive, as they contain material later used in the "History of the Future" and the "Future of the Future". The appendix can be found in the Omnibus Edition of the "Vatican Assassin Trilogy" available at http://glowinthedarkradio.com.…

As our journey through the background material in the appendix continues it's "The Biography of Bernard Campion" and the first half of "The Future of The Future" - my name for the outline I worked from as I wrote my three books. This is not the original outline, but it is close. Because plot points and other things changed between this point in the process and the finished books, this outline reads a bit like a summary of the trilogy that gets some things wrong! This half covers "Vatican Assassin" and much of "Vatican Ambassador". The appendix can be found in the Omnibus Edition of the "Vatican Assassin Trilogy" available at http://glowinthedarkradio.com.…

More background material for the entire "Vatican Assassin" Trilogy from the Appendix (found in hardcover omnibus editions - glowinthedarkradio.com). It's the rest of the History of The Future - from 2030 to 2109, when the trilogy's story begins. It's the rise of the Universal Trade Zone, the UTZ; the massacres and mistreatment that creates the war with the Universal Islamic Nation, the UIN; even the unification and creation of the New catholic Church. This "Future History" sets the stage for the tale to come.…
