From the 1860s to the present day, the Diogenes Club has been the
least-known of Great Britain's intelligence and law enforcement
services. Founded by Sherlock Holmes's cleverer brother Mycroft, the
Club protects the realm—and this entire plane of existence—from
occult menaces, threats from other dimensions, magical perfidy and
the Deep Dark Deadly Ones. In this collection, covering uncanny
events from the early days of the 20th century to the early decades
of the 21st, the Club's greatest Assets contend with ancient
Egyptian curses, magical wars fought in secret, and the mystery of
what really happened on the day of the first moon landing. Kim
Newman continues the series began in The Man From the Diogenes Club,
revealing more of the mysteries of the British Empire's most secret
service.
