As by John
H. Watson, M.D., edited by Philip José Farmer.
Actually completely written by Farmer,
John H. Watson is used as a pseudonym. Later rewritten and retitled as "The
Adventure of the Three Madmen", but finally in 2008, with
permission of the Burroughs estate, again published with the
original text and title.
Also published with the title: The
Peerless Peer.
Also published as eBook
(2011).
Win Scott Eckert wrote a sequel, The Adventure of the Fallen Stone by John H. Watson M.D.
DEDICATION: "Dedicated to Samuel Rosenberg, who has embroidered for the
world the greatest Doylie ever."
COVER TEXT:
The "Peerless Peer"
of the title is none other than Lord Greystoke, the jungle-born scion
of a noble English family, a duke in Britain but in his larger estate
of Central Africa a king. The time is 1916, at the height of the Great
War. The east wind has grown appallingly cold in England, and when the
Foreign Office learns that a deadly formula has been stolen from the
Allies by Sherlock Holmes' old foe, the German agent Von Bork, Mycroft
calls his younger brother out of retirement to save the Empire from the
greatest danger that ever threatened it. Watson, of course, accompanies
Holmes on this perilous mission, and his account of their adventure is
one of the most thrilling narratives the good doctor ever penned.
