Die Zeitmaschine

Sherlock Holmes Chronicles #2

by Ralph E. Vaughan, Arthur Conan Doyle, Till Hagen (Narrator)

In London verschwinden Menschen. Die Nächte verbreiten Angst und Schrecken, niemand fühlt sich mehr sicher. Man erzählt sich in den Straßen von Geistern, die Menschen enführen. Als Sherlock Holmes durch H.G. Wells einen zurückkehrenden Zeitreisenden aufspührt, vermutet er einen Zusammenhang mit den Morden und ist der grausamen Wahrheit damit bereits sehr nah. Es sind die Morlocks, die das viktorianische London terrorisieren. Der Meisterdetektiv stellt sich ihnen entgegen.

The great detective collides with happenings of H.G. Wells´ book "The time machine" and is forced to save the world through time and space.

Elementary entertaining.

Sherlock Holmes + H.G. Wells Buch "Die Zeitmaschine" + Morlocks = ein sehr delikater Cocktail für die Rettung der Welt.

4.2 Sterne

I like the challenge to make new stories in the London of the last decades of the 1800s. One can write a lot of stories but to create great ones one has to research quite a bit, as that "universe" is large but limited. Instead when the author uses sci-fi or fantasy to let the protagonist do and go everything, then there is no limit anymore and everything feels trivial (and very difficult to explain as well).

Das hätte ein durchaus interessantes Crossover zu H.G. Wells' "Die Zeitmaschine" werden können, aber bei der Story wurde hier einiges verschenkt, finde ich, vor allem bei der zweiten Hälfte der Geschichte. Die Qualität des Hörspiels ist aber wie gewohnt hochwertig, da gibt es nix zu meckern :).
