The Vatican Assassin Trilogy - Third Edition

by Mike Luoma

BC isn't much of a priest. Didn't go to Seminary. Doesn't like to be called "Father". Never said a Mass in his life. Though he wears the collar, BC serves in a different way - as an Assassin for The Pope of the New catholic Church (NcC)! He'll soon kill Governor Meredith McEntyre of Lunar Prime, the independent city-state on the Moon. The NcC is allied with the Universal Trade Zone (UTZ) of Earth and its Orbital Stations in the war against the Mars-based Universal Islamic Nation (UIN). Word is McEntyre has become too friendly with the UIN. Can't let the Governor give the UIN the Moon. BC does his actual work while posing as a public relations hack with the Office of Papal Operations (OPO) - Sanctified Spin Doctor by day, Holy Hit Man by night. Neither he nor the Pope have any idea how completely the repercussions from this one mission will change Everything! Includes the tuned-up 15th Anniversary Edition of Mike Luoma's original science fiction novel VATICAN ASSASSIN, VATICAN AMBASSADOR and VATICAN ABDICATOR under one cover.
