The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by John Joseph Adams

Martin’s grim portrait of the horror and futility of war, these fantastical conflicts reflect our highest hopes and darkest fears, bringing us mesmerizing visions of silver spears shining in the sun and vast hordes of savage beasts who threaten to destroy all that we hold dear. From the War of the Ring, Tolkien’s epic battle of good versus evil, to The Battle of the Blackwater, George R.R. For more information, visit his website at the realms of fantasy, the battlefield is where heroism comes alive, magic is unleashed, and legends are made and unmade.

Forthcoming work includes the anthologies Brave New Worlds, The Living Dead 2, The Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination, and The Way of the Wizard. The game is afoot! About the Author: John Joseph Adams is the editor of the anthologies By Blood We Live, Federations, The Living Dead, Seeds of Change, and Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse. Whether mystery, fantasy, horror, or science fiction, no puzzle is too challenging for the Great Detective. You'll be astounded to learn the truths behind cases alluded to by Watson but never before documented. In these pages you'll find Holmes and Watson investigating ghosts, aliens, pirates, dinosaurs, shape-shifters, evil gods, and criminal masterminds, including the Napoleon of Crime, Professor Moriarty. These cases will take you from the familiar quarters at 221B Baker Street to strange alternate realities from the gaslit streets of London to the far future.

These twenty-eight tales of mystery and the imagination detail Holmes's further exploits, as told by many of today's greatest storytellers, including: Here are the improbable adventures of Sherlock Holmes, where nothing is impossible, and nothing can be ruled out. But Conan Doyle didn't reveal all of the Great Detective's adventures. 'Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.' The first-and most famous-consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, came to the world's attention more than 120 years ago through Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels and stories.
