Robert Hugh Benson Come Rack! Come Rope!
Come Rack! Come Rope!. Hilaire Belloc once wrote that Robert Hugh Benson would be "the man to write some day a book to give us some sort of idea what happened in England between 1520 and 1560." Benson fulfilled Belloc's words in Come Rack! Come Rope!-one of the most vivid and gripping novels ever written about the Reformation. This novel tells of the struggles and sufferings of Catholic Recusants who refuse to capitulate to Protestantism under Queen Elizabeth I of England. One such Recusant, Robin Audrey, is shocked to learn that his father has decided to leave the Catholic Church for the safety of the Church of England. The narrative follows Robin's personal struggle to maintain his Catholic faith. He is torn between his dream of marriage and the call to a priestly vocation which would entail further persecution and possible martyrdom. 276 pp

Robert Hugh Benson Lord of the World
Lord of the World. 188 pp. Described by Fulton Sheen as one of the three greatest depictions of the advent of the demonic in world literature, Lord of the World is apocalyptic science fiction.

The forces of secular materialism, relativism, and state control are triumphant everywhere. Protestantism is no more, and Catholicism has been devastated by the development of new psychologies and the exodus of intellectuals in the wake of an Ecumenical Council. Despite the widespread collapse of organized religion, a pervasive and militantly hostile humanistic religiosity persists in attacking the exclusive and supernatural claims of the Church. Enter Julian Felsenberg - diplomat, scholar, guru, Antichrist...
