The Pope Who Came Next

Set in a post-apocalyptic 2051, the narrative unfolds around Jeremiah Abrahams, the second to last U.S. President, who unexpectedly becomes Supreme Pontiff after years of living as a monk in South Africa. His election follows the revered reign of Pope James I, whose legacy begins to unravel under Abrahams' leadership. Central to this turmoil is Cardinal Archbishop Joseph Christopher, whose influence complicates the unfolding drama within the Church and its connection to the remnants of a once-great nation.
