MANAGUA, NICARAGUA: Hundreds of thousands of jubilant Roman Catholics turned out Wednesday to celebrate with Pope John Paul II at an open-air Mass.

Welcoming him, President Violeta Chamorro, a devout Catholic, said the visit could help heal old wounds in a nation still recovering from a decade-long civil war.

However, Peretti has brought his genre closer to mainstream pop fiction. For The Oath, Word, his new publisher, brought in "a New York editor," and the effort shows in the density and pacing of the plot...
