Stunning Futuristic Novel Focuses on the Last Pope

The Roman Peter II ... the Last Pope? by George R. Araujo-Matiz chronicles the life and times of the pope whose reign was to end in the Last Judgment.

Desoto, TX (PRWEB) March 24, 2007 -- Set in the near future, in a world beset by global warming and economic depression, author George R. Araujo-Matiz, in his new book, The Roman Peter II ... the Last Pope? tells the story of the man that Saint Malachy prophesied would be the earth's last pope before Armageddon.

In 1139, Saint Malachy foretold all the names of all the popes up to the last one, Peter II, whose reign was to be the precursor of the Last Judgment. Now, in a thrilling novel, George R. Araujo-Matiz envisions the life of this remarkable man.

Welcome to the near future. The economy is terrible and the environment is even worse. Terrorist groups are fighting with religious fanatics and unease is spreading. But Pope Peter II wants to use the wealth of the church to reconstruct the world economy. Determined to meet the leaders of terrorists groups head on, he is kidnapped and taken prisoner. Will his zeal for healing the world cost him his life? Fast-paced and provocative, this is a gripping novel of ideas, and a re-imagining of an ancient prophesy that some believe to be true.

The Roman Peter II: The Last Pope? pulls readers into a story as fast-paced and compelling as anything penned by bestselling author Dan Brown.
