E' una storia di coraggio, di crescita e di redenzione. Il romanzo di formazione di un ragazzo dai vestiti molto simili ai miei oppresso da un'ingiustizia epocale verso cui non può accettare di sentirsi impotente, che lo porterà ad intraprendere un viaggio con cui dimostrare a se stesso di poter recitare una parte attiva sul palcoscenico della sua vita. Una storia di maledizioni e di poteri soprannaturali, che tuttavia più confida nell'apertura del lettore verso il fantastico e l'incredibile quando gli chiede di accettare che il protagonista metta in forse il suo percorso di liberazione per offrir il suo aiuto ad una donna, portavoce di una comunità vessata da un male grande tanto quanto il suo e succube come lui di una giustizia bendata che sembra a volte dimenticarsi di questo mondo. Un'impresa titanica, come tutte quelle che sono necessarie a colmare il vuoto scavato in un cuore da una sorte impietosa. Ed io lo so. Emanuele

The Vatican Chronicles is a tongue-in-cheek novel about the most dangerous act of nuclear terrorism in the twenty-first century, a romp of international intrigue and espionage by a man who spent thirty-three years in the field. The explosive story begins in Washington and focuses on the most recent shipment of plutonium by Japan from Cherbourg to Nagasaki—a shipment that could produce three hundred Nagasaki-size bombs. A bizarre attack on His Holiness at the Vatican’s summer palace and the murder of a well-known cardinal in the Vatican hospital lead a much-loved and popular pope and an unloved and unpopular intelligence agency to form an unlikely joint venture to save a key priest at an obscure monastery near Kyoto. As readers, we are treated to a Japan no Westerner is permitted to see, and made privy to a Vatican initiative so daring it may not be revealed. The harrowing escapade of nuclear terrorists will succeed unless a handful of Americans and Japanese, aided by the Vatican, can discover who is behind the threat and stop them. Wikipedia defines roman à clef (French for novel with a key) as “a novel about real life events that is overlaid with a façade of fiction. The fictitious names in the novel represent real people. The reasons an author might choose roman à clef format include writing about a controversial subject and/or reporting inside information (and) the opportunity to turn the tale the way the author would like it to have gone.”
