Imagine a world where historical figures like Nostradamus, Elvis, and even Hitler come back to life for the sake of a B-movie empire. That's precisely the lunacy that unfolds in "Nostradamus Ate My Hamster." Famed prophet Nostradamus gets a second lease on life, and he's less concerned with making predictions than he is with tucking into some hamster delicacies.
Rankin tackles time-travel, history, and pop culture with his trademark irreverence, and the result is a rollicking narrative that involves prophecies rewritten and hamsters consumed. As any SFcrowsnest aficionado would concur, history books would be far more interesting if penned by Rankin.
