Ministry Protocol

I sort of recall reading one of the novels in the Ministry Of Peculiar Occurrences series.
And yet I really enjoyed this book.
The stories are set all over the world and vary from funny to scary.
If you haven't read any of the books, just look up steampunk on Wikipedia and read the cover blurb of one of the novels and you'll be all set.

If you're a fan of the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series, or steampunk in general, you'll no doubt like this. Some of the biggest names in the genre contribute, and for the most part they manage to capture the spirit of the original series rather well. If you haven't read the series, though, I wouldn't recommend starting here.
