Forty two months earlier, Satan's plot to rule the Vatican was thwarted by the courage of three unlikely allies, who killed the demon-possessed Pope before he could do more harm. The world was safe: Or was it? No one was aware that the new Pope had turned the Holy Eucharist into a chalice of evil during his coronation mass, and that every Cardinal that partook of it that day had become a servant of the powers of darkness. Now that the groundwork for it had been laid, the evil spread like a dark stain across the entire Catholic world, Armageddon could begin.
At the same time, halfway across the globe from Rome, a group of scientists - convinced that the earth was at a tipping point, the balance of nature about to fall into a series of unstoppable environmental catastrophes - came up with their own "ultimate solution". Setting off with carefully disguised vials of a super plague, these men and women travelled by air to every major city in the world to deliver a pestilence that would wipe out half of mankind.
And that was just the beginning.
