It’s the year 2012 and the “good life” has been wiped out by a dictatorial Marxist government and the Islamization of American culture. The ascent to power of Mubaraq El Baba has reduced the United States to a pawn of Muslim supremacy. At the same time, the University of Notre Dame, a long-time icon of excellence in Catholic education, has sold its soul for government funding and peer-group status among secular institutions of learning. The conferral of an honorary doctorate on El Baba, a zealous abortion advocate, has sundered the school from the Catholic Church and from many in the Notre Dame “family.” This is the scenario for “Grottogate,” the third novel by Missouri author Peter K. Connolly.
