Book Description

It is Summer 2002. Iran has troops overrunning the Middle-east; chemical weapons are exploding in Paris, and a nuclear bomb is detonated at New York's Kennedy Airport. All this was predicted by Sixteenth century French prophet Michel de Nostradamus. The book opens with a brief review of Nostradamus' successful past predictions: the arrival of the first two "antichrists," Napoleon and Hitler; the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, and recent events including AIDS, the Gulf War, and the death of Princess Diana. What follows are Nostradamus' warnings for the future, during and after the Millennium, that he hoped the world would heed and prepare for, including a cataclysmic earthquake for Los Angeles, and devastating droughts, record heatwaves and flooding in Europe. This coincides with major political upheavals: the deaths of Bill Clinton and Saddam Hussein, and the arrival of the "third antichrist" in Iran, who reigns for 27 years and starts the third world war. There is also extensive analysis of the war itself: chemical weapons attacks on France; an invasion of Europe by Islamic fundamentalists, and the destruction of New York; all of which occur simultaneously, throwing the United States on a prolonged military and economic defensive. Once the U.S. and allies are in position to counterattack, they drive the Islamists out of Europe but it is a protracted struggle. The book concludes with the assassination of the antichrist in a coup, and the ending of the war by the victorious United States. There follows a glorious time of peace that Nostradamus envisions for the world after the war.

Review

As a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force (Retired), and former Special Agent in counter-intelligence, I've always been intrigued by Nostradamus' gift for predicting future events, some of which I experienced. Perry Kane's ability to place Nostradamus' predictions of the future beyond 2000 in chronological sequence, takes Nostradamus interpretation to another level entirely! I've read many books on Nostradamus over the years, but Kane's is a must for serious Nostradamus scholars. -- Richard Earl Hansen. Author of "Space-Shuttle Mayday!" "Little Horses of the Devil," and "El Manto." December 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings a chill to your spine., October 3, 2001

This review is from: Nostradamus and the Millennium: What May Be Coming (Paperback)

Not your ordinary book on Nostradamus. Perry Kane cuts to the chase & interprets for current times & the next 100 years. Whst's chilling is that he has nailed the Sept. 11 bombing head on - keep in mind this was written 2 years prior. Kane also mentions Osama Bin Laden by name 4 times in the book! Great, easy to read interpretation & a must have.

This review is from: Nostradamus and the Millennium: What May Be Coming (Paperback)

I've rated this badly researched and written tome a 'one' for at least providing more than a few good laughs.
It's bad enough that Kane's grasp of near-east and middle eastern history, astronomy, and nearly every other topic, including geography, Greek, Latin, Mythology, Kabbalah, ancient history, spiritual movements, the Papacy, and all things 'Persia' and 'China'and 'Tam' are woefully inadequate for the task he's undertaken. But his obvious grasp of recent and current global events and political leaders is downright laughable. He seems oblivious to these: the true identity of Saddam's son Uday, being groomed to succeed his father; that our current Pres. Bubba and Russia's Pres. Putin are mentioned prominently - and not as 'victors'; that the widespread devastation coming to U.S. cities (not French ones) is described all too well; that Khaddafi's son, with the blessing of his father, has begun a major reproachment with the west that is succeeding and will change the face of Libya; that an army attempting to invade and attack Turkey by crossing the mtns. from Armenia would lose half it's men and equipment, i.e. commit military suicide; that the 'two rivers' is a recurring theme which, in terms of current and post-2002 events, relates directly to the Tigris and Euphrates; that the man in the 'blue turban' is neither Iraqi nor Iranian; that the so-called Antichrist isn't an 'Islamist', but quite the opposite. The list of what Kane misses and fails to grasp goes on and on and on.
The fact that he ends nearly every Line 4 quatrain 'interpretation' with "This part remains a mystery..." should provide readers with a major 'clue' regarding Kane's lack of knowledge, depth, and understanding of all the subjects related to this material, since the Line 4 contents often provide the most telling and important imformation necessary for interpreting the quatrains. That their contents remain 'obscure' to him, given his lack of classical education, insight, and knowledge, isn't surprising.
The glowing praise given this book by others astonishes me in light of the fact that nearly a third of all the quatrains listed - supposedly in chronological order - occurred many years before its publication - some hundreds of years ago, others within the two decades preceeding its writing. His Amero-ccentric views (including the identity of 'the victor')are patently absurd and his assertions on nearly every point - from dating methodologies to Iran to the Antichrist - are dead wrong. His insistence that Nostradamus wrote heavily about the fate of 'his beloved France' reveals Kane's failure to understand one of most crucial and important of devices used by Nostradamus - that of using astronomical information and the names of cities as a clue to locating corresponding places in latitude and time elsewhere which were unnamed (or ungiven) in his time (such as Denver, the Rockie Mtns., Mtn. St. Helena, Chernobyl, etc.) - and makes this book nothing short of a joke. That he lacked even the seriousness of purpose in this endeavor to educate himself concerning astronomy, especially regarding the dates of the planetary conjunctions and alignments given with respect to their visibity from any given location of earth, speaks for itself. Even what little information in that regard he bothered to glean from others is incorrect. Instead, he chooses only the most obvious information to impart, as in Nostradamus clearly spelling out the future destruction of Rome and the Vatican. Kane breathlessly treats his 'discovery' of this nugget as though he's single-handed discovered Eldorado!
A great deal more education, observation, and research prior to attempting this tome would have served Mr. Kane well. I suggest that even those just looking to understand Nostradamus' work better would do well to look elsewhere (John Hogue, for starters) for enlightenment, since it can't be found in the pages of this book. I consider the time and money spent on this book wasted and have only spent this much time and effort writing this review it in hopes of helping others to avoid wasting their time and money as well.

This review is from: Nostradamus and the Millennium: What May Be Coming (Paperback)

It is a short read. Not much detail here. He starts with the text already translated and that is a disappointment. It seems that most of the real discussion involves the original text.

With that said, most readers will not want to spend days learning French, Latin and other languages to be able to read the quatrains. So the average reader may enjoy this quick and dirty examination of Nostradamus and his predictions. Consider it a beach read.
