None Other Gods follows the journey of a young man who, after converting to Catholicism, faces rejection from his father and embarks on a path of independence. The novel explores the conflict between personal belief and societal expectations, as the protagonist navigates his relationships and decisions that defy convention. As he rebels against the life he once knew, he engages in impulsive actions, including the public auction of his possessions, marking the beginning of his search for a life on his own terms. The story delves into themes of self-discovery, faith, and the tension between individual identity and the societal pressures that seek to define it. The narrative highlights the protagonist's reckless spirit and his journey toward a new existence, driven by his desire for autonomy and a deeper understanding of his faith. Through his choices, the novel presents an exploration of the complexities of belief, family, and personal freedom, offering insight into the human struggle for authenticity in the face of opposition.
The various plots, the political movements, and the closing scenes of Charles II's life are here described with as much fidelity to truth as is compatible with historical romance.

For he was perfectly aware that fear, and a sickening kind of repulsion, formed a very large element in his emotions. For nearly two hours, unless three persons had lied consummately, he--his essential being, that sleepless self that underlies all--had been in strange company, had become identified in some horrible manner with the soul of a dead person.
Among the best-known of Benson's works, COME RACK! COME ROPE! tells of the suffering of Catholics under Elizabeth I of England, as shown through the eyes of one Catholic family. Tragedy, divine love, and the doctrine of vocation play important roles in this early novel of faith and spiritual redemption.

Having recently converted to Catholicism, Frank Guiseley receives a letter from his father, Lord Talgarth, in a fit of rage informs him that he should no longer expect any support from himself. Frank, in a spirit somewhat tinged by the romanticism of it all, takes his father at his word, leaves his university and sets out on the road to make his own way in life, with no particular skills and no definite plan. While his family, his fiancee, and his friends wait for this phase to be over, Frank discovers a deeper pull that leads him on a grand adventure of self-discovery over the English countryside.
As the world rushes to war, a mysterious man emerges to quell the conflicts and create a universal peace-but at what price? Lord of the World is Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson's famous dystopian sci-fi novel, written in 1907, in which he describes a world where the religion of humanism has taken over and man relentlessly pursues his own ends. In many ways a prophetic book, this is a must read for all thoughtful people, not just Catholics.
