    The Third Antichrist
    Obelisk
    McCartney
    Fall of giants
    • The third Antichrist is here, just as Nostradamus predicted--and Adam Sabir is the only man who can prevent hell from reigning on earth, in the final Nostradamus installment Five centuries ago, Nostradamus wrote of three Antichrists. Two, Napoleon and Hitler, have already bathed the world in blood--but it is the third who will bring the Apocalypse. And his time has come. In the mountains of Moldova, a ruthless tyrant is hailed as the Second Coming of Christ. In the gypsy camps of Romania, a woman's unborn child could change the course of the world. In a polluted sinkhole in Mexico, four siblings pledge themselves to vengeance. Only scholar Adam Sabir, guardian of the lost prophecies of Nostradamus, knows what will happen when these destinies collide. He alone has decoded the identity of the Third Antichrist. He alone knows the one who can prevent this tyrant's rise. The fate of the world is in his hands. The countdown to Armageddon has begun.
