Summary
The charmingly eccentric Otto Draxinger appears to be your typical pipe-smoking Oxford professor, doing his best to preserve his sanity while his beloved former students are being slaughtered at the Western Front. But the American expatriate has diagnosed himself with the newly coined term “schizophrenia". And he believes the nightmarish waking visions he’s been experiencing are caused by the psychological trauma of the catastrophe that is The Great War.
But after a chance encounter on a train with a beautiful and dangerous woman, the witty academic is drawn into a web of espionage and the paranormal. Conscripted by a secret British intelligence agency called The Department of Anti-Mageia, the astonished Draxinger is transported to an isolated castle and immediately put into training for a desperate mission.
Here, at the mysterious brigade’s headquarters called The Crypt, Draxinger makes friends with his fellow recruits including the fighter pilot ace Buppy Singh, the wily weapons inventor code named “Fizz", and the brilliant cryptologist/suffragette known only as Abacus.
But Draxinger soon learns that to uncover the appalling truth about his terrifying visions, he will have to come face to face with the German side of his family’s legacy of the Dark Arts. For he has been ordered to fly straight into the heart of enemy territory and assassinate his murderous brother - an operative for the German emperor Kaiser Wilhelm’s own agency of the occult.
From Oxford to Berlin to the skies above No Man’s Land, the reluctant yet always humorous professor-turned-spy must discover how to wield magic for good...in a world gone truly bad.

Brilliant paranormal WW1 tale
Loved this historically (sometimes) accurate and artfully written story. Marvellous characters who virtually leap through headphones to embrace you with their colourful personalities. Perfectly voice acted by Elijah Alexander, his accents were as true as any I’ve heard on Audible. Arguably, it was his brilliant ability that breathed life into this fantastical tale. I adored the protagonist’s (Otto) Dudly-do-Right view on good Vs evil, his unerring ability to over estimate the good in clearly evil characters made me smile. I look forward to the next instalment of this hugely entertaining series! Thanks!

Terrible accents
I read a review saying accents accurate! I can only assume they have never heard a Brit speak! The accents are so bad it’s borderline offensive. At one point someone from Liverpool speaks with a bad Scottish accent- it’s actually the worst performance I’ve heard in a long time!
The story is ok I guess it’s a bit too all over the place to follow but that might be because I was so distracted by the terrible accents.
