It's here! It's published (The Franciscan)! It's about murder, suicide, extortion, assassins, devilish plots - and the result is a narrative with more twists, turns and terror than a roller coaster ride through purgatory. It's a ride worth taking.

Unexpectedly thrust upon the throne of St. Peter by dark forces within the church, this pope is trying to institute a radical agenda of change while contending with assassination atttempts, murded, suicide, kidnapping and political intrigue....and then things get really ezxciting.

Every now and then a book I'm asked to read and write about pleasantly surprises me. The Franciscan is a case in point. It is an intriguing read - weaving together two fascinating tales. It kept me interested up to and including the end.

The Franciscan is a well written book. The plot weaves mystery and intrigue into the inner workings and leadership of the Catholic Church. The characters of Dom and Symon have dynamic personalities, and are the kind of people I would love to join and have an adventure with.

It was a thriller that I couldn't put down until I finished it, and it had an unexpected ending that couldn't have been better. I look forward to reading the second book in the series.
