Summary

One cousin in this three-generation saga of a dysfunctional family kills his stepfather before he is out of middle school. Within weeks of being ordained one of North America's last priests, he travels across country to assassinate two blackmailers trying to extort money from a gay cardinal. He rises through the ranks of the church by winning a reputation as the Vatican's most effective problem-solving hit man, eventually becoming Pope-after poisoning his predecessor. Another cousin, by promoting a philosophy of mediocrity touted as equality, is nominated for Vice President as the presidential candidate's insurance against impeachment, and-unforeseen events do happen. This story is set in a North America in which religion has been reduced to cult level, mores approach Brave New World, and technology has advanced slightly past Mission Impossible. The reader should therefore not be surprised that events that have a real-world parallel do not necessarily happen at the same time and place or in the same sequence in the Hippo reality.
