Originally published in 1992 by Sun & Moon Press, Wendy Walker's The Secret Service is a fantastical, alternative-19th-century espionage novel in which agents of the British Secret Service use a bizarre technology that lets them transform into coveted objects to infiltrate and thwart a plot against the young king and queen.

"A late 20th-century literary masterpiece."
— The Independent

"The great underrated book of the 1990s, a work of astonishing complexity that grows more interesting with each reading."
— Temporary Culture

"One has to admire a novel as perversely uncommercial as The Secret Service. . . . a one-of-a-kind standout."
— The Bedlam Files
