Nostradamus Ate My Hamster Author(s) Robert Rankin Country Great Britain Language English Genre(s) Fantasy novel Publisher Doubleday Media type Print (Hardcover & Paperback) ISBN ISBN Nostradamus Ate My Hamster is a fantasy novel by British author Robert Rankin. In it, several seemingly unconnected and nonsensical events come together to make perfect clarity at the end; these include time travel and an attempted alien invasion vaguely orchestrated by Hitler.
The plot centers around the aptly named Russell Nice, stuck in a dead-end job at a movie prop selling business, discovering holographic equipment from the future that allows the holder to create life-like holograms of any movie star they want. Eventually he becomes entangled in a mass of deceit, lies, and betrayal, all of which centers around a demon-god with an insect face, and Hitler, who is stuck in the present time with his SS bodyguards, intending to make a film that will influence the world to follow Hitler and his ideals.
Finding himself unable to simply destroy the film or prevent it being made, decides to use the time-travel belts that Hitler's forces had acquired to establish himself as a major film producer in the present, thus ensuring that he will be the one that Hitler's men bring the film to, allowing him to destroy it before it is released.
