Lammas Night

By: Katherine Kurtz

Narrated by: Martyn Swain

The year is 1940, and Great Britain's forces struggle against the Nazi war machine. France has fallen to Adolf Hitler's army, and England is next. A British secret agent pays the ultimate price to deliver early warning to harness the power of the occult to conquer Great Britain by launching a supernatural assault that no defending military force could possibly deflect.

British Intelligence operative Col. John "Gray" Graham of MI6 is not only a valuable player in the great game of wartime espionage, he is also a practitioner of the ancient occult arts. Gray's destiny has been firmly intertwined with that of his close friend Prince William. Now, with the future of Britain at stake, these two men, the spy and the royal, must rally the hidden adherents of the Old Religion, hoping to unite the British covens in defense of their endangered island homeland. But it will take more than combined Wiccan sorcery to repel the Reich's black magic on Lammas Night—and the sacrifice required might be greater than imagined and truly terrible to endure.

Lammas Night is a spectacular feat of creative imagination from the author of the acclaimed Deryni fantasy series. Smart, affecting, and brilliantly conceived, it is an enthralling combination of historical fiction, war novel, and the occult that will appeal to fans of all fantastic literature.

The simple language and the use of terms quietly explained

at first, I disliked the narrator, but towards the end The Voice really fit the location and characters

Excruciatingly boring

Boring and unimaginative, advised perhaps just to fans of The Crown, and I don’t mean that as a compliment.
