Operation Regime Change

Rome. Friday, October 16, 2026.

What should have been an ordinary day becomes, within minutes, a crisis destined to change the world.

The Pope is abducted in the heart of Rome.

As the Vatican plunges into the gravest crisis of its recent history and millions of people follow events with bated breath, governments, intelligence agencies, courts, and international diplomats enter a struggle in which every alliance is fragile and no one seems to understand the true design behind what is happening. Every decision triggers unforeseen consequences. Every move sets another in motion. Like falling dominoes, once the first piece goes down, all the others begin to follow-and no one knows where the chain will end.

But who truly stands to gain from striking at the Pontiff? And above all, why?

Written as a contemporary political thriller, Operation Regime Change combines suspense, geopolitical satire, and a reflection on power, imagining what might happen if something considered impossible were suddenly to become real.

A story built on an extreme premise to explore the fragile balances of today's world-and to reveal just how thin the line can be between what seems impossible and what might actually happen.
