Memory Ambers, (Paperback)

I believe there's something in predictions of doom and destruction. The truth, indeed, may be just a grain of salt in such prophecies, but even that grain of salt is enough to make you feel uneasy about the future of mankind. We know of Nostradamus (1503-1566), who made many prophecies about the human race, which have come true. It is now known that the Italian National Library in Rome made an amazing discovery in May 2005. Buried in their archives was a hitherto-unknown manuscript by the prophet of doom that he had handed to his son and later was donated to Pope Urban VIII. It did not surface again until now, almost four hundred years later.
