A third world war ends in 2009 and as part of a peace agreement, a new world government is formed.

There is a new way to track the years, A.D. has been abandoned as being associated with religion - and all religion has been outlawed....religion, especially the Christian religion is thought to be THE problem in keeping peace throughout the world.

So here we are at year 36 after the war (36 P3) and religious practice has gone underground. We have a new very large government department whose prime task is to find and destroy all the small groups who continue to believe in God.

Our hero is Dr. Paul Stepola, rising star in the NPO (National Peace Organization) and committed to his work at the NPO. He took his doctorate in religious studies and is considered an expert in his field.

However, God works in mysterious ways and things change. As the reader, we are allowed to watch the changes unfold.

Great read with some violence (not in all the gory details).
An interesting "future history".

If you are an extremely anti-religous person, you will NOT enjoy reading this book or this series. But then, you already knew that!
