Welcome to Litsy!

59/150 Described as a cross between James Bond, Indiana Jones and The X-Files, this is a rollicking adventure. Christopher Winter is an assassin for British Intelligence who suddenly finds himself involved in ghosts, ancient runes, blood sacrifices, Russian spies, faceless creatures and possibly the end of the world. It's a very fast paced, globe trotting adventure, and no cliff hanger ending, although it is left often for a sequel. 5 🌟

Christopher Winter had never put a bullet in the head of a priest before.

One of the better opening lines I've come across this year.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

Another stack of unread books 😬

This wasn‘t quite what I expected when I heard it described as James Bond with wizards. But, I liked it even more that way. The magic was more subtle and I had great fun with the characters and the story!

What a sunset to leave Hawaii on! My trip has been spectacular and I only wish I could stay longer!

I am utterly obsessed with this book! A Cold War spy thriller with demons and a hidden supernatural war?!? What's not to love? Perfectly written with wonderful ambience and great action sequences. The pacing was so tight, my attention never flagged once. I never wanted to put this book down, I was captivated entirely. The characters were so rich as was the mythology in this world. I was so thrilled to discover there is a second book coming!

“Christopher Winter had never put a bullet in the head of a priest before. The idea felt faintly blasphemous.”

Me in the bookstore : oooooh interesting opening, I‘ll take it 😂😋

Saw this book in the bookshop. I don't know anything about it, but l'd buy it just for the cover 😍

Has anybody read it?
