These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Her Majesty's Minister: Look inside the book: In obedience I rose, opened with the key upon my chain the big safe, and took out the small morocco-bound volume containing the secret cipher by means of which His Excellency could communicate with Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs-a book supplied only to ambassadors themselves; and, because it is kept locked, its contents are never seen even by the staff of an embassy. His Excellency unlocked it with his own key, took up his quill, and after searching here and there through the pages, commenced writing a bewildering row of letters and numerals intermingled, while in the meantime I had gone to the telephone instrument at the opposite end of the room and "rung up" London, until there came an answering voice from one of the night staff of the Foreign Office. About William Le Queux, the Author: He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveller (in Europe, the Balkans and North Africa), a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. ...Le Queux mainly wrote in the genres of mystery, thriller, and espionage, particularly in the years leading up to World War I, when his partnership with British publishing magnate Lord Northcliffe led to the serialised publication and intensive publicising (including actors dressed as German soldiers walking along Regent Street) of pulp-fiction spy stories and invasion literature such as The Invasion of 1910, The Poisoned Bullet, and Spies of the Kaiser.

It is 1895 and the world is in turmoil. The Great Powers compete for resources and the latest technology, and an undeclared and secret war rages between them all. This is battleground of the Adventuring Companies. These clandestine agents of the Great Powers operate in the shadows, matching skills and wits in pursuit of the newest scientific formulae or powerful occult artifacts. In Her Majesty's Name sets these adventuring companies against each other in one-off encounters and in longer narrative campaigns. Companies are usually comprised of just 4–15 figures and two players could easily play three games in an evening, making an on-going campaign a highly viable option. In Her Majesty's Name has been designed to allow maximum versatility for the player – if you can imagine it, the system will help you build it. There is, however, a wealth of material provided in the book, covering weird science, mystical powers, and a range of pre-generated adventuring companies, including the British Explorers' Club, the Prussian Society of Thule, the US Marine Corps, the Légion Étrangère, the revolutionaries of the Brick Lane Commune, ancient Egyptian cults, and the mysterious Black Dragon Tong.

Excerpt from Her Majesty: A Romance of to-Day Tween them. It was part of his policy to ignore past defeats. Now one of Queen Honoria's most objectionable characteristics, in the eyes of her Prime Minister, was an inability, or an unwillingness, to carry out her part of these little pretences; accordingly, She Silenced him with a Please do not bring that up again, Baron Hausman. I tell you finally that I will not ap pear in public. I Should feel altogether too flat, trailing around the streets with four horses, as if I were the leading lady in a circus, with claquers throwing up their hats and Shouting 'god Save the Queen!' in front, while the real people, my people, are scowling silently in the background, or turning their heads so as not to see me. I tried it once, and I will never do it again. I know the people are discontented, and I am not sure but that they have a right to be. Then she had ended by an impulsive little appeal out of the depths of her heart, not that She thought it would do any good, but be cause she could not help it: Why need we be SO at cross-purposes, my subjects and I? What is good for the one is surely good for the other. Why can we not have an investigation, ask them for a specific list of their grievances.
