The Nostradamus Secret

by Joseph Badal

Overview

"Crisp writing, masterful pacing, and characters to genuinely care about. This is what top-notch suspense is all about."
-Michael Palmer, New York Times Bestselling Author

THE NOSTRADAMUS SECRET book three in the Danforth Saga, builds on Nostradamus's "lost" 58 quatrains and segues to present day. These lost quatrains have surfaced in the hands of a wealthy Iranian megalomaniac who believes his rise to world power was prophesied by Nostradamus. But he sees the United States as the principal obstacle to the achievement of his goals. So, the first step he takes is to attempt to destabilize the United States through a vicious series of terrorist attacks and assassinations.

Joseph Badal offers up another action-packed story loaded with intrigue, fascinating characters, and geopolitical machinations that put the reader on the front line of present-day international conflict. You will be transported from a 16th century French monastery to the CIA, to crime scenes, to the Situation Room at the White House, to Middle Eastern battlefields.

THE NOSTRADAMUS SECRET presents non-stop action in a contemporary context that will make you wonder whether the story is fact or fiction, history or prophesy.
