Untethered Magic (A Wizard in Bremen Part 1)

The Realm of False Gods, Book 1

By: Steve Higgs

Narrated by: Tim Toddhurst

My Name is Otto Schneider and I am a wizard. I think.

When a missing person case brings me into contact with the only other supernatural creature I have ever seen, it’s not long before I am ass-deep in trouble.

The police don’t like me, there’s a clandestine organisation who want me to join them, and what might be a demon trying to catch me. When I refuse to play ball with any of them, my life starts to get tough, but I had no idea how low they might stoop to force my hand.

Soon they will find out just how badly they underestimated me. I hope. Have I bitten off more than I can chew?

Somehow, I need to escape captivity, cross to a mysterious demon realm, rescue a girl, and find my way back. Easy, right? It might be if they hadn’t confiscated my wand.

Thankfully, I’m not alone, I have a powerful werewolf as an ally. If only he wasn’t such an annoying, snarky d-bag.

Snarky Heaven/Hell retelling Epic Urban Fantansy

A fantastic start of a new series! Lots of laughs, magic, fights, creatures and an interesting retelling of heaven and hell, angles and demons. This was fast paced with plenty of action. Otto and the other characters are likable with unique personalities. Highly Recommended.

Ohhhhh! This was a Great 1st in Series!!

I like this Audible book Very, Very much. I enjoyed the way the author presented the MC, who With no other idea of what he was decided to call himself a Wizard. This storyline was fun and enjoyable and I believe many people will love to read or listen to this book

Great story but had to read it couldn’t listen

The story was amazing but I ended up having to buy print because I couldn’t make it by past the horrible off putting German accents and bad transitioning

I'm hooked!❤️

I love the story and the characters. An urban science fiction story like no other.

Awesome

This is the first book in a new series that I found to be awesome. Otto is a wizard who has had to teach himself the magic that he has. All of the characters are interesting and unique in their way. There is lots of magic and humor throughout. The narrator does a wonderful job of bring each character out in their own unique way.

Coffee, Dragons & Poison

Otto was 14 when he discovered he had an ability that needed to be kept secret. He is a wizard who is mostly self taught. Now he's on a mission to find the man he saw in his house the night his wife went into a coma. Unfortunately the police do not like him and he finds himself spending alot of time in the jail on flimsy charges. Then he meets a police woman who believes in the supernatural. In trying to solve his personal case he gets drawn into something a lot bigger and draws the police woman into the mystery. Along the way he meets a werewolf and forms a friendship, of sorts, with him. Otto finds he is not alone any more.
Tim Toddhurst draws you into the story and keeps you enthralled.
Fantastic audio and story!!

entertaining!

this story started slowly. however the story isx a good one. a wizard goes off hunting an otherworldly being capturing women from earth. the self taught wizard must dig deep within himself to learn to master his skills to survive. can he do so in time. thos is the beginning of a series and I will follow on his continuing adventure.

Great story

Once I got orianted with the German accents it was golden. Worth the read. Wonderful

The foreign location and use of accents.

The accents were interesting but a bit distracting. Not sure what could have been done differently.

Young reader style.

good storyline theme - multiple redundancies and/or clichés. good for young teen or late chapter-book reader.
