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 born in other dimensions, magical perfidy
and the Deep Dark Deadly Ones. In this collection, covering uncanny
events from the late 19th Century to the 1970s, the files are
opened, and select exploits of the Club's greatest Assets are made
available to the public, revealing the truth about fairies and
fish-folk, national heroes and national horrors, diabolical
masterminds and the Weather. Kim Newman continues the series began
in The Man From the Diogenes Club, revealing more of the secrets of
the British Empire's most secret service.
