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.

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.

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.

Very interesting read. Perry Kane interpretations seem to be very clever but some have been proven wrong. Still an interesting read on Nostradamus. Hopefully, our future won't end which is due for sometime next spring.

There are some impressive predictions in this book, interspersed with erroneous ones.
It seems to me that the quatrains of Nostradamus can be so vague that they can be used to predict almost anything. They are also difficult to put in chronological order.

This book was written in 1999. The author wrongly predicted the untimely death of Bill Clinton and the ascension of Gore to the presidency at the start of the millennium. Although Kane does make many references to the beginning of an Islamist war, he fingers Iran as the culprit, when Shiite Iran is one of the only Middle Eastern countries who is hostile to the Sunni fundamentalists.

One impressively interpreted quatrain is:

"Pestilences passed, the world becomes smaller
For a long time lands will be inhabited peacefully
People will cross through the skies, safely, over land and seas
Then wars will start again."

Kane says that this quatrain deals with the new millennium. The attacks of September 11 have indeed brought the safe crossings to a halt.

Most impressively, Kane says about a particular quatrain dealing with World War III: "I wonder if the Arab prince in line 1 is the notorious Saudi Osama Bin Laden; a billionaire who funds Islamic fundamentalist groups....(and who is known to his followers as the "Prince of Terror".

So the reader must judge for him/herself.
