Sherlock Holmes Society of London reviews Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus by P C Martin

"Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus by P C Martin. I suppose the combination of Sherlock Holmes and Steampunk was inevitable. Guy Ritchie’s first Holmes film had elements of Victorian super science, but the true hybrid flowering is in Steampunk Holmes. Full details are at www.steampunkholmes.com, but for the less elaborately electronically enabled, such as me, the first adventure is now available in its most accessible form: i.e. a book. Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus places Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson in a world where electricity has yet to be developed, the internal combustion engine is irrelevant, and steam power has been developed to the highest degree. Holmes’s favoured transport is a powerful motorcycle. Watson sports a mechanical right arm. And Mycroft Holmes is Sherlock’s beautiful, devastatingly intelligent sister. The story, as you’d expect, involves Captain Nemo and his famous submarine, cleverly working them into a reimagining of ‘The Bruce-Partington Plans’. With character portraits by Daniel Cortes and a superb cover by John Coulthart, it’s very stylish – though for the best of Mr Cortes’s illustrations you’ll need to check the website. "

Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of The Nautilus  is available from all good bookstores including in the USA Barnes and Noble, Amazon and in the UK Amazon and Waterstones. For elsewhere Book Depository offer free delivery worldwide. Also available on Kindle.

Sherlock Holmes Society of London reviews The Hound of Baskervilles: A Sherlock Holmes Play by Simon Corble

"The Hound of Baskervilles: A Sherlock Holmes Play by Simon Corble. The Hound of Baskervilles doesn’t easily lend itself to the theatre, but dramatists seem unable to resist the challenge. I’ve not had the chance to see it performed, but Simon Corble’s play is pretty close to the top of my list of favourites. It was written to be performed out of doors, with the audience following the actors from place to place. Mr Corble boldly adapts the story rather than simply dramatising, and the result is clever, witty, exciting – and refreshingly intelligent. David Stuart Davies contributes an appreciative foreword, and the text is enhanced by a dozen photographs and superb atmospheric cover, using photos taken during a production at Brimham Rocks in North Yorkshire."

Hound of The Baskervilles: A Sherlock Holmes Play is available from all good bookstores including in the USA Amazon and Barnes and Noble , in the UK Waterstones, Amazon and Book Depository (free worldwide delivery). 

Sherlock Holmes Society of London reviews 56 Sherlock Holmes Stories in 56 Days by Charlotte Anne Walters

"56 Sherlock Holmes Stories in 56 Days by Charlotte Anne Walters. After submitting her novel Barefoot on Baker Street, Charlotte Anne Walters set herself the task of re-reading all the short stories in the Canon, one a day, and writing about each of them on the same day for her blog at http://barefootonbakerstreet.wordpress.com/. For the book publication she has added her observations on the four long stories. Her remarks are often amusing, occasionally thought-provoking (why so little protest about the uncanonical back-story for Mary Morstan in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes? I suspect it’s because so much else in the film is defiantly uncanonical), and always personal and entertaining. She seems unaware that the text in the Penguin Complete Sherlock Holmes is American, and differs in several instances from what was (and ought still to be) the standard British text. And I can assure her that marriage between first cousins was and is perfectly acceptable in British law – and church law, if it comes to that. Royalties from the book go to the Undershaw Preservation Trust. "

Sherlock Holmes Society of London reviews - Sherlock Holmes and The Lyme Regis Trials

"David Ruffle completes his ‘Lyme Regis trilogy’ with Sherlock Holmes and the Lyme Regis Trials (MX Publishing; £6.99/ $9.95/ €7.99). The title refers in part to the difficulties overcome by the pineer palaeontologist Mary Anning, a poorly educated woman in a world dominated by men, but principally to top-secret naval trials, which lead to espionage and murder. This pleasant volume is completed by a distinctly off-beat account of the case of the Grosvenor Square furniture van."

Sherlock Holmes and The Lyme Regis Trials is available from all good bookstores worldwide including in the USA Amazon  and Barnes and Noble, in the UK Amazon, Waterstones . Fans outside the US and UK can get free worldwide delivery from Book Depository  - and in all electronic formats including Amazon Kindle, Kobo and Apple iBooks (iPad/iPhone)
