Pardon me mentioning this author again in this forum, but Carel Mackenbach has written his SF novel with the Vatican as visual arena.

Brother Frank Bootsma - an astronomer of the Vatican Observatory - is abducted to future China because he is somehow connected to the inventor of a time-travel machine. Bootsma has discovered the Vatican has been manipulating time since the condemnation of Galileo. Don't want to spoil the plot so check it out yourself.

No space odyssey, but a remarkable story that has pre-Big Bang residues, an unexplained solstice in a Basilica in Burgundy Vezelay in France, and a mysterious sundial in the Tower of the Winds on top of the Vatican Secret Archives as major story elements.

Time Hack has a cheaper version as The Day Time was Hacked. See at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk for Kindle downloads.
