What has happened to American democracy? NO POPES IN HEAVEN is a political thriller with biting commentary about what has gone wrong with the world's ideal government.

A major pharmaceutical company has developed a drug to slow aging --- but the long clinical trials required to bring it to market are just that: too long to be profitable. Operating with political maneuverings the would make Machiavelli blush, the Big Pharma company conceives of a different course of action --- brilliant, lucrative and dangerous. But as this tactic spins out of control, the curtain is pulled back on the worst of Washington's machinations: big money, back room deals and betrayals, and political campaigns that leave voters behind.
