From the Inside Flap
That rare find: comic fantasy that actually makes you laugh. DouglasAdams10;Terry Pratchett, but with more jokes. A dark, deadpan millennial tale. 'The sheep shall be the first sign. Those that frolic and hopwill detonate with great concussions, The strongest glues will not holdthem, their suffering will go unheeded, Until the Great Trianglesdepart' From the Lost Centuries of Nostradamus: Quatrain v11.5 So itbegins: the end of the world. The Apocalypse is at hand, afoot, in yourface -- wherever -- it's going to affect you, mentally and physically.Ask Colin the sheep about it and he'd probably say 'BOOOM!' which isn'tvery helpful but then he has just exploded. Ask Professor Michael D.Nostrus, history teacher at a redbrick university and formerly thesometimes-vaguely-accurate prophet Nostradamus, and he might give you apiece of advice along the lines of: hole up in a Welsh farmhouse with an attractive young woman and read books like THE SAS SURVIVAL GUIDE: KILL SQUIRRELS THE WAY THE PROFESSIONALS DO. Some people think he'smad...Professor Michael D. Nostrus knows better. After all, he's had 500 years to work out what to do...
