The year is 2163. Jeremy Watson, a fifteen-year-old prodigy in advanced robotics, builds an android—a walking, talking robotic duplicate of a human being. Jeremy, a direct descendant of Doctor Watson, Sherlock Holmes’ trusted friend and chronicler, names his android Holmes. When Jeremy and Holmes travel to England to spend the summer with his cousin, Jeremy finds that his uncle, Inspector Hudson Saint Claire, and Professor Beekeeper are investigating the disappearance of a well-known American philanthropist at Stonehenge. Reports of bank robberies, visions of Merlin and strange viruses on space shuttles confound the police. Professor Beekeeper comes up with an idea. If he can download enough information about Sherlock Holmes into Jeremy’s android and turn it into the great detective, maybe then they will be able to solve the mysteries. The experiment is a success and Holmes, the android, now the world’s greatest detective, with his Watson is hot on the case.

This review is from: The Game's Afoot Again (Paperback)
This was a fun read - the intended audience is young adults but I am a not-so-young adult who really enjoyed it also. I'm not a huge Sherlock Holmes fan so I missed a few of the subtleties that a true Holmes fan would have picked up on but it was a delightful book for a light, easy read. You don't need to be a Holmes fan to enjoy this book. Just be someone who likes a GOOD STORY. The whole concept behind the book is very clever and makes for an entertaining adventure. Well done!

This review is from: The Game's Afoot Again (Paperback)
While aimed at children, I found this book quite enjoyable and even suspenseful. In true science-fiction-mystery form, the science fiction does not get in the way of the mystery. Yes, there are new inventions and technologies, but they add to the story. You don't have to be a Sherlock Holmes fan, but it does enhance the reading. I like watching Jeremy grow and hope to see more in future works. Buy this for your children, but you'll read it too.
