Enigma
by James Swallow
2012
Set in the occult alternate war of Tannhauser, Enigma sends agents into a world of secret weapons, strange science, and deadly factions. It is pulp military action with a supernatural edge.
Series background & context
Tannhauser is an alternate-history setting where the First World War never really ended and occult science has reshaped the battlefield. Soldiers, secret factions, and strange technology collide in a world where history has been pushed off course.
James Swallow's Enigma works inside that pulp war mood. It is the kind of setting that favours missions, relics, codes, and enemies who are not always using ordinary weapons.
If you like weird war stories, this is the attraction. It blends military action with supernatural and dieselpunk elements, giving Swallow room for both tactical pressure and strange, dangerous secrets.
