A companion to Benson’s Lord of the World, this novel imagines the opposite future: a dying man wakes, memory gone, as a priest in a world some sixty years on where the Catholic Church has won Europe and governs society. He must learn how this order works, and his growing horror at some of what it demands is the heart of the book.
A strange, thought-provoking religious utopia of 1911, for readers interested in early speculative fiction and the politics of faith. Download the free EPUB.
