A collection of stories setting the UK government's Department of Paranormal Resources in a European context, apparently a sequel to an earlier collection; a British, more bureaucratic version of the Wild Cards stories. Interesting to realise that back in 1992 there was far less Europhobia around in British culture - compare the mild mocking of Brussels here with the irresponsible paranoia of the Daily Mail. Most of the stories are fairly standard stuff given the scenario; it starts with a rather good one by David Langford which I hadn't previously read, and I really enjoyed the second last, by Roz Kaveney, whose fiction I don't think I have otherwise encountered.
