Run Tall Run Easy

A young archaeologist finds the true Crown-of-Thorns of Christ. On one of the thorns is a tiny piece of mummified skin. Following months of indecision, Bill Bronoski, who owns a biotechnology company in Texas, USA, makes a scary decision. He will attempt to clone Christ from the piece of skin. Two things result. Because of his effrontery Bronoski creates an evil presence that drags him down into a nightmare from which there is no escape. Over the second half of the book Christ indeed returns. Where there had been religious skepticism, and growing doubts among countless Catholics, all of this is swept away to be replaced by certainty - God exists. This revelation results in inexpressible joy that floods through millions of lives now that there are no doubts. Christ, however, offers a warning to the Pope, the first American Pope. The Catholic Church must return to the simpler life of the early Church. The obscene wealth of the Vatican is a hindrance to the spreading of the word of God. So what is to become of all of this wealth? The Pope's proposal throws the Congregation of Cardinals into turmoil - leading to the murder of the Pope. There is also a love story here between the young archaeologist and a third-year classical student. The location of the story, for the most part, is in the USA, Texas and Boston in particular. The discovery of the Crown-of-Thorns is made in a medieval monastic settlement in Ireland.
