Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have been a fan of Sci-fi/fantasy books for a long time and have read rather alot of them. This book was lent to me by a friend a few years ago and have been searching for it ever since. Never before have I come across an alternative history tale so well concieved and written. Using the well known and loved characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson in a setting of magic and mysticism was sheer genius, in my humble opinion. Buy, borrow or look over someones shoulder, just ensure you read this book!

An alternate version of Sherlock Holmes' London.
1 May 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Esther Freisner is an author who makes me laugh. Do you ever laugh out loud when your reading? It's a little embaressing, but her books make me do it.
In this story Esther takes you to a world where Magic is real. England has been ruled by Druids for centuries. Britian is surround by a magical shield which keeps out all commerce England does not want.
Brithric Donne, is the Sherlock character, a logical man stuck in a land where magic precludes logic. He and his faithful companion Dr. John H. Weston who has a secret of his own, solve crimes without the help of magic.
The Queen is in danger and Donne and Weston rush to her rescue. Weston has a more then patriotic interest in helping the queen.
Each chapter has a title based on an Authur Conan Doyle story. Esther refers to a couple of stories that Conan Doyle just allued to.
This novel is a clever tribute to Sherlock Holmes, but it also gives Watson or Weston a chance to tell his own story. I would highly reccomend this story. I'd have to give it ten stars!
