Since his childhood Patrick was very interested in astronomy and up to now he studied hundreds of publications and books on this subject.

　　In his first published book on astronomy (“A new Space－Time Dimension”，1979)，he launched an attack on the world－famous relativity theory：he predicted several very impressive things that were connected to the universe.His predictions were proved in the last ten years，getting a lot of public attention in the Belgium press and television.

　　Within three years' time he hopes to present his book in the USA，but first he has more important things to do.Through his astronomical knowledge，he discovered a trace leading to a high－developed civilization that was destroyed by a polar reversal(反转)．The descendants(后裔) of this civilization，the Maya and Old Egyptians，predict a similar disaster for the year 2017.Noticing the urgency of this warning，Patrick started an intensive(彻底的) research and wrote three books on this subject.

　　The first book，“The Orion Prophecy”，was published in 1998 in Belgium and Holland.It was translated and published at the end of 2001 in the USA.In the meantime the book became a bestseller in Poland.“The World Cataclysm in 2017” was published in 2005 in the USA.It also became a bestseller in Poland.“How to survive 2017” was published at the end of 2006.

　　【语篇解读】　Patrick Geryl自小喜欢天文学，他已发表了九部关于天文学方面的书，这些书都是畅销书。
