That did it! It was the Jack Steel trilogy by Iain Gale I was looking for https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/....Man_of_Honour. Many thanks!

Hi All.

I'm trying to remember a book series that I read years ago.

It was a fantasy series with a mage/magician/wizard who lived in Germany (the book is in English) and he could teleport among other things. He was fighting demons.

His best mate was a werewolf and they were detained in a facility underground, and I think it's where they met.

There is also a young woman they discover who has great power.

At one point the good guys teleport to hell (?) and they release a bunch of people who were held captive.

The series is similar to The Dresden Files.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

No idea on this one, but I will be watching. I'd try the Name that Book thread in the Reading Recommendations forum, it's meant for this.
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=34005

Do you know when you read it or have some approximation for age? That will generally help.

I had no idea this thread existed.

I read the books maybe four, maybe five years ago, but I have no idea when they actually came out.

The Realm of False Gods series by Steve Higgs? "A Wizard in (or Battle for) Bremen" is used in several of the subtitles.

I'm not familiar with it at all, but the blurb includes phrases like:

... wizard detective, Otto Schneider ...
... underground cell ...
... recruit a snarky werewolf ...
... invade the demon realm and rescue a little girl ...

Wow. Thank you.

I had some remembrance of his name being "Harry", I think because at some point he refers to Harry Dresden by Jim Butcher.

Man, was I off.

Thank you DiapDealer, that is exactly the series.

Steve Higgs (author of the series you are looking for) has his books on Amazon on Kindle Unlimited.

Happy to help. I enjoy solving these little mysteries whenever possible!

Hi, I hope you are all doing well, sorry to bother but I'm getting desperate.

I'm searching, desperately, for a Chinese novel that I read several years ago.

I don't remember the details 'cause I was dealing with a lot of stuff in my life, and also 'cause I lost my kindle library last year, but I know it was really good!!

In this story a girl, a really powerful cultivator, transmigrates to modern China, she ends up in the entertainment business, I think she's searching for several sect brothers, including one that is now a really famous actor who sees her during a photo session or something.

She gives a lot of predictions about disasters, a Tsunami and floods in several towns, is visiting a Zoo and there is a livestreaming when she feels that a Thunder Tribulation is coming for her 'cause she revealed to much and saved to much people, it was a M/F stories.

Thanks a lot for the help. Be well, Monica

I'm trying to remember a book on the economic+geopolitical context of the WW1 period, which encompassed the arms industry and natural resources. It was published around 2017, and had a black and white cover similar to Margaret MacMillan's The Peacemakers, with two men in period-specific formal attire, with a red title font.

Gemini suggested several possibilities, the fourth one was, I think, the right one.

The War That Ended Peace: The Road to 1914 by Margaret MacMillan

Thanks for responding to my post. Unfortunately that's not it. I've read The War That Ended Peace already, and it was also published in 2013, not 2017. I'm very annoyed with myself because I added this book whose title I can't remember to my Amazon wishlist in 2017 when it was published, but for some reason deleted it years ago. I'm thinking I may have to look it up on the British Library's online catalogue and narrow down as much as possible, and then go through the results. Maybe I could ask an AI for all the WWI books published in Britain in 2017.

Hmm... how about 1917: War, Peace, and Revolution by David Stevenson ?
