Sherlock Holmes Rise of the Empire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539515753)

The first three novellas in the Ghost Wars series, the Rise of the Empire follows the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Watson as they deal with the rumblings of war being telegraphed by Germany and its upstart Verboten Party, which is led by Herr Himmler and his rising star companion, Adolph Hitler. It is based loosely on the actual war between England and Germany, when both were using occult weapons to battle with each other. Relatively unknown by the masses, World War Two was fought on many levels besides just guns and bullets and bombs. Sherlock Holmes and Watson are assigned by the King to track down and destroy the Verboten Party, which has secretly established an underground base in London and is preparing for massive attacks on the population. This is a grand and exciting new phase of the alternate history/alternate earth series begun by the author which follows Holmes as he rises from being just a detective to a major force in the opposition to the war mongering of the Germans. Urban fantasy at its finest, Rise of the Empire incorporates magic and science, science fiction and fantasy in broad, but satisfying strokes of humor and action, as well as deep expressions of the bond of friendship and love between Holmes and Watson
