By Papal Decree: When Belief Becomes a Weapon, No One Is Innocent

By Norbert E. Reich

"One Cross. One City. One Impossible Mission."

The electrifying sequel to the international bestseller By Royal Design, from master storyteller Dr. Norbert E. Reich

A world divided by religion. A city claimed by three faiths. A mission that could end in salvation-or annihilation.

In By Papal Decree: The Middle East, Dr. Norbert E. Reich delivers a breathtaking continuation of his high-intensity geopolitical thriller series. As Pope Leo XIV unveils his plan to establish peace in the most volatile place on earth-Jerusalem-hidden enemies mobilize. What begins as a gesture of hope soon becomes a global lightning rod, attracting assassins, spies, and world powers unwilling to relinquish control.

Caught in the crossfire is Adam Bergman, a decorated Navy SEAL turned double agent, who narrowly escapes death only to be drawn into the Vatican's secret circle. With every move monitored and trust eroding fast, Adam must confront a past that won't die-and a future he may not survive.

Rich with historical insight, chillingly relevant, and unrelentingly suspenseful, By Papal Decree is the book that proves Reich's series is not only timely-it's prophetic
