The Secret Prophecies of Nostradamus: 12 visionary tales of what the next millennium may bring. Future Sight, Written more than 400 years ago, Nostradamus's prophecies have puzzled and fascinated each new generation that discovers them. Did he actually foretell World War II and its outcome? The discovery of atomic energy? The rise of such world powers as Japan? Did he accurately foresee the eventual end of civilization as we know it?
Numerous works have been written over the centuries attempting to divine the correct interpretation of Nostradamus's mysterious and highly symbolic quatrains. Now, the challenge has been taken up by some of the finest minds in science fiction, visionaries who use these prophecies to play games with time and space, arriving at some truly unique and imaginative interpretations that the master himself could never have predicted.
From one woman's encounter with a Revelation that is out of this world to a centuries old international society dedicated to minimizing the devastating effects of true predictions, to a future where people have finally found the way to achieve "peace" here are truly provocative, innovative stories created especially for this volume, each of which breathes new life into the ancient art of prophecy.
