The approach of this very detailed researched book is different from any other works written about this historical figure. Here we have Nostradamus as a time traveler, who goes to eye-witness historical events of his future, and then goes back to France of the 15th Century where he writes up his 100% accurate predictions. For every famous name that we encounter, we witness the event of challenge that they had to overcome to make them famous. This novel is a romance with history's figures close up and personal, with many sexual affairs, blood thirsty fights, and a ton of historical facts, all put together in this fascinating book that make it hard to put down. Encounter Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Ghengis Khan, the Knights Template, and even Alexander the Great to name only a partial list.
