"Lammas Night" by Katherine Kurtz

It's been out for a few years now, but did anyone read "Lammas Night" by Katherine Kurtz?

Based around some historical truths and fictionalized beliefs, the book centers around Hilter's interest in the occult and the witches of Britian who banded together and raised a cone of power to keep Hitler from invading the British homeland. {For every person who denies this happened there is a person who says it is true.} The occultists standing together and doing the 'antisniper spell' did something equally as difficult.

There are three tarot readings in the course of the story. I found the whole thing fascinating and wish someone would film it into a miniseries or something.

Haven't read it but it sounds very interesting!
Will have to see if I can find a copy somewhere.

It's a very interesting book. Kurtz has a series, The Adept series, set in the modern day, featuring a group of occultists (a Hunting Lodge) who oppose evil magicians in Scotland and England; at one point they contact one of the surviving characters from Lammas Night. In Lammas Night, the group shown is working in what seems to be a British Traditional style, passed of as a Fam Trad. I envy them the labyrinth-style maze they use as a meeting place. I'd love to have one designed like that. In the Adept Series, Kurtz works with Masonic symbolism and the occult history of the Knights Templar.
