Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Lord of the World" by Robert Hugh Benson is a dystopian science fiction novel published in 1907. In the early 21st century, the world has consolidated into three superstates, where Catholicism faces extinction amid rising secular humanism and global peace. A mysterious figure named Felsenburgh emerges as a charismatic peacemaker, captivating nations with his magnetic presence. As humanity embraces a new religion that worships Man as God, a small remnant of Catholic faithful must confront an apocalyptic confrontation between ancient faith and a seductive new world order.
