BERNARD CAMPION has killed for the Pope as an agent of the Office of Papal Operations, the OPO. But the old pope is dead, and Pope Linus the Second is no friend of the OPO! The adventures of Bernard Campion, the Vatican Assassin, continue.

And just what is the mysterious Project?

Chapter Two
As Election Day approaches, BC gets dragged into the spotlight by McEntyre and the media. This does not help the prospects of Marc Edwards' reelection.

Customer Reviews
Liked it.
Very enjoyable trilogy. Also check out Alibi Jones for a sort of continuation.
My first Podiobook
This is the first podiobook I finished. I don't usually finish them because I lost interest after 5 or so chapters, but is one is different. Lots of conspiracies, politics, action, but not so much of religion (considering the title). The latter is not a disadvantage.
Descent SF podcast
Good story overall. Writing not quite as developed as some other established podcasters and wish the author had left the telling to someone else. The lead character comes across as arrogant and a little immature which makes his role as a leader a bit unbelievable. Too many cliched one liners at times. If you have already listened to the most popular SF casts and need something new then give this a go.
