A Spanish Cardinal of the Borja family invaded the Papal States in Italy and Pope Urban VIII, who had been somewhat sympathetic to the “religious liberty” that Grantville had introduced to 17th-century Europe, was forced to flee Rome in Cannon Law and to flee Italy entirely in Papal Stakes. As this one opens he is in Besançon, awaiting the arrival of assorted dignitaries of most of the varied religions of Europe of the day—not only Roman Catholic Cardinals, but representatives of the most important Protestant churches, Greek and Russian Orthodox prelates, and even a Jewish delegation. (Islam, however, is not included.) Urban had invited them for a “colloquium”: nothing is to be formally decided at the meeting, but the purpose is to allow representatives of all faiths to meet and converse with their counterparts from other faiths, with the idea of finding whether there might be common ground for mutual toleration. And the story develops as an intertwined tale of religious controversy and assassination plots, very well done. One of the most enjoyable books in the series from my standpoint, though others may disagree. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Glacial plotline which improves as story unfolds, and confusing in places. *by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018* This book was difficult for me to assess properly, as it seemed to ebb and flow w/r to my interest level. But my overall takeaway was it's somewhat confused--or confusing in regards to many of the characters. Characters: too many of them with unfamiliar names, and needed to keep checking the list of dramatis personae. There were times where I felt myself dozing off during many of the myriad of conspiracies. The Grantville-based central characters were reasonably well presented and familiar, but several of the others--no so good.This tale is somewhat involved with a slow moving plot in the first 2/3 of the book, and after action initiates becomes less turgid and overall more appealing. Sorry I have to give this only 3 stars, since it's worthy of a bit more but not 4. Realistically it's a 3 1/2 star novel. It's essential reading to find something of a conclusion to the Galileo storyline in context of the 163X Universe. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An enjoyable read but not as good as it could have been *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2017* This is clearly for fans of the 16xx series. Absent that connection its not worth the bother. The authors don't waste half the book explaining the intricate background, for which I am sincerely grateful. If this is your first 16xx book, the wikipedia articles should fill you in on what you need to know. What we get here is a nice police procedural set in the 17th century but with a lot of late 20th century memes and material. It works. It was a smooth read and enjoyable. I take off one star for more than a tad too much coincidence in the plotting. I'll accept it but some may find it annoying. There's also the question of how well this fits into the broader mythos, but I leave that to reviewers more into the series than myself. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/54707075-1636-the-vatican-sanction-24-ring-of-fire-hardcover-december](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/54707075-1636-the-vatican-sanction-24-ring-of-fire-hardcover-december) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
