I have just one thing to say about this book. Holmes would not have taken the deal regardless of the odds. ( )

1894 It would seem that Professor Moriarty like Sherlock Holmes has returned from the dead. Ready to take over his organisation again, an organisation he had left to Colonel Moran to run. But will it be easy to take power back, what obstacles will occur and what plans does he have for the future.
An interesting and enjoyable well-written historical mystery ( )

I thought the author of "The Wreckage of Agathon" had taken a flyer into the world of Sherlock Holmes. It's another man entirely, and the work is pretty standard. ( )

This is one of the best written books I have read in a long time. I had a very hard time putting this down. The funny thing is that I almost didn't buy it, because I wasn't sure about [a:John Gardner|481146|John Gardner|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1342714293p2/481146.jpg]. Now I'd like to read more by him. I thought the premise was excellent and I found that adding the footnotes about discrepancies and explanations was very helpful. I felt some sympathy for Professor Moriarty, but by the end of the book the listener doesn't anymore. It is a great story about how everything is not as simple as it may seem. ( )
