This sequel to The Curse of the Wandering Jew: Book I, continues the story of Cain, a being doomed to witness the follies of humankind millennia after millennia. Cain, the cursed half-Nephilim son of Eve, persists in his efforts to save life as we know it on the planet earth. The only stable government is, ironically, the small city state of the Vatican City, whose traditions of rules and discipline-if often broken-at least offer some semblance of order. This eternal pariah forges ahead, collaborating with the newly promoted Cardinal Hans Regenmacher, Auxiliary Bishop Ciann O' Donnegal, and Mother Lucia to find and reassemble the legendary Crown of Thorns, whose mysterious power might save earth from its final apocalypse-a catastrophic meteor strike. This epic supernatural-sci-fi fantasy was inspired by Eugene Sue's classical 19th century epic fantasy novel, The Wandering Jew.
