  <default-description>England in the mid 1950s is not the same as it was. The powers that be have instituted...some changes. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have been disbanded and disavowed, and the country is under the control of an iron-fisted regime. Now, after many years, the still youthful Mina Murray and a rejuvenated Allan Quatermain return and are in search of some answers. Answers that can only be found in a book buried deep in the vaults of their old headquarters, a book that holds the key to the hidden history of the League throughout the ages: The Black Dossier. As Allan and Mina delve into the details of their precursors, some dating back centuries, they must elude their dangerous pursuers who are Hell-bent on retrieving the lost manuscript... and ending the League once and for all. &lt;P&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Chock-full of derring-do, sexy times, rocket rides and harsh governmental oppression, The Black Dossier reunites several characters from Moore and O'Neill's seminal League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, this time in 1958. The fascist era of Big Brother is winding down, and a secret black dossier on Bri...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38099390">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[First, a test.  About halfway through this book, there's a short story entitled, &quot;What Ho, Gods of the Abyss.&quot;  Can you name the two authors who are lovingly parodied in this story?  Have you already started writing the story in your head?  If so, then this book is for you.  If not... don'...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38875550">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have little to add to the extensive coverage this pastiche volume has already received here on Goodreads and on Amazon.   This one is a loose parable in which Mina Harker and Allan Quatermain, transported to a post-Orwellian 1950s, are chased by James Bond and Emma Peel to the very gates of The Bl...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52926948">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Mr. Moore was a little too pleased at his own cleverness.  It was good in an elitist jerk sort of way, but overall the storyline left me cold throughout and fizzled in a spurt of weirdness rarely seen.  The rating is for the beautiful imagery and the inventiveness of the back story paper trail, but ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36828255">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Alan Moore is always a chore to read, and this is probably the most dense of all his LEAGUE work. I really enjoy the &quot;alterna-verse&quot; history of the League throughout the years. There are huge, HUGE ideas behind all of this, and I don't think they are adequately explored in the small tome y...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43868519">more...</a>]]></body>

My least favorite things about the other books were the additional material, such as the Quarterman novellas, fake newspaper ads, etc, which felt a bit excessive.
