You think you know how the world works? Think again.
21st Century America
Magic has faded from the minds of mankind, until an encounter between Melisande Stokes, linguistics expert at Harvard, and Tristan Lyons, shadowy agent of government, leads to the uncovering of a distant past.
After translating a series of ancient texts, Melisande and Tristan discover the connection between science, magic and time travel and so the Department of Diachronic Operations – D.O.D.O. – is hastily brought into existence. Its mission: to develop a device that will send their agents back to the past, where they can stop magic from disappearing and alter the course of history.
But when you interfere with the past, there’s no telling what you might find in your future…
Written with genius and complexity, this vividly realised novel will make you believe the impossible, and question the very foundations of the modern world.

Very clever! The build up thoughts research and execution of this book are very very impressive I’ve never read any of their work before and then therefore very impressed takes a while before you understand what the book is actually about but in my mind well worth the wait once again very clever

Soooo good! Hilarious mix of time travel, mind control, Shakespeare, parallel worlds, government bureaucracy, witches, magic, naked Vikings, Walmart, and more acronyms than I can count. What more can you ask for? I loved every minute of it!

FINALLY!!Absolutely gorgeous, I love the way the humor in this book is written. It's in the spirit of Pratchett and Gaiman. It was a complete privilege listening to this book.
