Complete story — includes the ending
Pope Sylvester V (Walter Marsh) is assassinated in St. Peter's Square, and because the pontiff was brokering peace between Christians and Muslims in Indonesia, a backstep is authorized. Something happens during backstep and Parker finds himself only five days in the past and in the pope's body after the assassination attempt. Parker must play along with being the pope for a while pending a trip to the United States. As the pope, Parker arranges a private audience with Vukavitch and explains to her what's happened. After evading assassination a second time, and sneaking away to NNL, Parker backsteps and returns to his own body.
