Set in Reformation Europe Q begins with Luthers nailing of his 95 theses on the door of the cathedral church in Wittenberg. Q traces the adventures & conflicts of two central characters: an Anabaptist a member of the most radical of the Protestant sects & the anarchists of the Reformation & a Catholic spy & informer on their thrilling journey across Germany Italy & the Netherlands. The four young writers who shelter behind the pseudonym Luther Blissett have created a world of intrigue violence & intense political & religious passion. Far from the traditional example of historical fiction Q is the stuff of which cults are made.
