Publisher's Synopsis
EVERY SAINT HAS A PAST AND EVERY SINNER HAS A FUTURE-EXCEPT MAYBE THE CREW ON BOARD THE ST. LAURENTIAEarth is divided between the allure of a spiritual resurgence and the out-of-this-world high of an alien drug. When the spaceship carrying Celestine the VI, the new Pope, is commandeered by a drug lord, he find's himself facing possibly the shortest papacy in history. Isi Hudson, a young nun on board the ship, is hoping the new planet ahead of her will bring more promise than the one she's leaving behind, but the mutiny has her facing things about herself she was sure she'd managed to leave behind on Earth. Being a Knights Hospitaller, life and death situations are nothing new for Srgt. Edmund Hope, but when he's woken early from cryogenic sleep he expects to be punished for war crimes not tasked with saving the very man destined to excommunicate him. He has to decide quickly whether or not to save the Pope or join in the mutiny.
