β¦ Synopsis
"Everyone{u2019}s heard of Nostradamus. No one{u2019}s heard of Philibert Montmorency. One was a legend. The other, not so much{u2026} A newly discovered Nostradamus prophecy has taken the internet by storm thanks to {u2018}The Oblivion Doctrine{u2019}, a group of online conspiracy theorists. Apparently the end is nigh. And in case anyone{u2019}s interested, nigh is definitely a Tuesday. Doctor Ally Oldfield, Professor of Medieval Languages, is summoned to Lyon for a second opinion. She{u2019}s not happy about it. But then again she{u2019}s rarely happy about anything. She{u2019}s got a coffee deficiency, a low tolerance towards almost everybody, and nothing good to say about Nostradamus whatsoever. And in her expert opinion, although the prophecy is over five hundred years old, it{u2019}s definitely not by Nostradamus. So if he didn't write it, who did? Helped by Gabriel Janvier, the second-worst {u2018}prepper{u2019} of all time, and Mr. Palomer, a mysterious old philanthropist, Oldfield must scour history to discover the truth before the prophecy comes true or The Oblivion Doctrine{u2019}s fake news destroys civilisation anyway. In the search for truth, only history can save the future"--Amazon.
