From the Lost Centuries of Nostradamus: Quatrain v11.5

So it begins: the end of the world. The Apocalypse is at hand, afoot, in your face – wherever – it’s going to affect you, mentally and physically.

De la contraportada

THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS…

'‘ The sheep shall be the first sign.
those that frolic and hop will detonate with great concussions,
The strongest glues will not heed them,
Their suffering will go unheeded,
Until the great Triangles depart.’
'

From the ' Lost Centuries of Nostradamus: Quatrain v11.5'

NOT WITH A BANG BUT A BAAAOOOM

' Before and After ', featuring some unfortunate sheep, a downsized hell, alien tourists watching the final conflict; the pyramids as ancient advertising slogans and a friendless local newspaper reporter named Adam who’s sure there’s a big story brewing somewhere and he’s the man to help it let rip.

Read before the end becomes nigh.
