Following an introduction from Nancy Holder, this anthology contains a dozen tales, several of them touching novella length. Unfortunately, in terms of quality this one was a major letdown as the authors either failed to mix the two canons while staying true to either, or they simply got entangled with elements of science-fantasy or fantasy lifted from works of Wells.
The stories that turned out to be notable and memorable, by virtue of sharp writing and deft characterisation, were~
1. Mark C. Richardson's "The Case of the Missing Inventor";
2. Chris Chan's "The Outline of Mystery";
3. Derrick Belanger's "The Alarming Visions of Ogden Drury";
4. Hassan Akram's "The Adventure of the Crystal Egg";
5. M.L.D Curelas's "The Adventure of the Pale Death".
The rest, I am afraid, were rather overwritten and consequently boring.
The next volume might make a pleasant change. Let's see.

Belanger Books continues to impress with the sheer amount of quality Holmes stories they produce each year. This collection is no different.
Take the world’s greatest detective and mix him with the master of science fiction and you have a collection of stories that range from thought provoking, to the bizarre.
We see Holmes both out of his regular comfort level, yet still totally in his element. The writers of the series spun tales that are imaginative yet not forced. These are genuine Holmes stories, with a sci fi twist, yet neither detracts from the other.
You can’t go wrong with this series from Belanger Books. I highly recommend.
