Very interesting take on Nostradamus and his predictions. It's actually about his trainee and the character is believalbe and fun. Some humor and a lot of incite to the times they lived in. The justice system was scary for lack of a better description.

Makes the recent election look trivial. We have it pretty good. Most of the players were well written and I'll continue to read the series with pleasure.
