The Foundation

by Kody Chamberlain, Thomas E. Sniegoski, Paul Azaceta (Illustrator)

History shows that in the 1500s, Nostradamus' three volumes of prophecies were best-sellers, making him a rich man. But what the world doesn't know is that he used his vast treasure-trove of riches to create a foundation to prevent his most catastrophic prophesies from occurring! This secret team still functions today, using Nostradamus' published and unpublished tomes to predict threats to worldwide security! In the vein of The X-Files, but with a 24-like spin!

Reviews

[Bruce Dixon · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was kind of disappointing, I guess. Had a good intro, then sorta fizzled into a hodgepodge action movie. Shrugs, I don't regret reading it.

[Mathew Carruthers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Worth a look - quite an interesting premise, that is, a secret organization that exists to prevent the prophecies of Nostradamus from coming true. The art work isn't bad, but it won't blow you away, either. It's functional, like a neutral colored business suit. All in all, it was a good read.

pretty weak in all respects: art, plot, dialogue
