4.0 out of 5 stars Gardner re-imagines the classic Holmes series!, December 2, 2009

This review is from: The Revenge Of Moriarty (Paperback)

The late John Gardner has re-imagined the James Bond series (following the passing of Ian Fleming) and has also paid fine homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with his series of novels featuring Sherlock Holmes and his arch-nemesis, Moriarty.

Set a handful of years following the alleged "deaths" of both Holmes and Moriarty, the "Napoleon Of Crime" is amassing his evil band of followers to enact revenge against all who have done them wrong --- leaving the final strike for Sherlock.

This novel is thoroughly engaging and the way Holmes turns the tables on his rival is sheer brilliance. It's a pity Mr. Gardner has passed on --- would loved to have read more in this series. A must for all Holmes fans!
