The flowers are out, and so are the cardinals! That is, the cardinals of Pope Urban's renegade papacy, now on the run from the Vaticans' would-be usurper, Borja. Fortunately, Urban has help from those indomitable modern West Virginians thrown back in time during the Ring of Fire cataclysm. He can rely upon Cardinal-Protector Larry Mazzares' theological savvy, Sharon Nichols' medical skills, and her husband, Ruy Sanchez's keen-eyed experience as a bodyguard-in-chief. And even though Urban has a new Papal Guard in the form of Owen Rowe O'Neill's Wild Geese, up-time leader Mike Stearns has loaned the Pope a contingent of the Hibernian Battalion—just in case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhich is prudent, since Urban and his peace initiative are not merely at risk from Borja's assassins. There is another, deadlier team of professional killers in town, directed by the man who almost killed the Pope before: lethal Spanish mastermind Pedro Dolor. Dolor has not come to confess murder—he's come to commit a cardinal sin. Several of them, in fact!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout 1635: A Parcel of Rogues:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 20th volume in this popular, fast-paced alternative history series follows close on the heels of the events in The Baltic War, picking up with the protagonists in London, including sharpshooter Julie Sims.
