Story
You are holding one of the rare stories to come to light involving "Sigerson", the name Sherlock Holmes went by during the years when the world thought he was dead. This story also has the distinction of being the true first sequel to Horace Holly's She, published in 1887 under the byline of Holly's agent, H. Rider Haggard. The only heretofore known sequel, Ayesha: The Return of She, was published in 1904 and records events that occurred two decades after She. This new tale is a record of the events that took place between the two previously published adventures.

Story
For Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler was always the woman, but at the end of A Scandal in Bohemia, Dr. Watson had pronounced her dead and gone. However, reports of her death were greatly exaggerated. Holmes and Miss Adler had fallen in love at first sight, and she promptly moved in with Holmes and Watson at 221B Baker Street. In an effort to protect the delicate sensibilities of the British reading public, Watson explained her presence by referring to her as Mrs. Hudson, the housekeeper, even as Holmes and Adler combined forces to become a formidable detecting duo.

On the morning of the vernal equinox in 1899, Holmes is roused from his bed by Lestrade. The inspector has received a report of a girl brutally murdered at Stonehenge. Upon arriving at the famed site, Holmes discovers the body of a young woman. On her forehead, painted in blood, is a druidic symbol. On her side, also in blood, is a message written in a strange language that neither Holmes nor Lestrade can decipher. The girl was also eviscerated and her organs placed around her body. As a final touch, branches from yew trees had been artistically arranged around the corpse. Holmes senses a malevolent force at work, but without data, he is powerless. As the weeks pass, he slowly gathers information about the ancient druids and Celtic mythology and begins to assemble a small army of experts to assist him.

Publisher's Summary
An accident with H.G. Wells' time machine strands Cynthia Kenyon in London, 1882. Utterly alone, the prisoner of Professor James Moriarty, there is but one name from the period Cynthia knows: Sherlock Holmes. What she could not know is how powerful an attraction she would feel for Holmes' partner, the handsome Dr. John Watson.
Cynthia faces a number of dangerous choices on this unique journey: allow the 19th century's great criminal mastermind to plunder the centuries? Give up her family, friends, and career for the love of one man from the past? Should she correct the history she has changed, and how? No matter what Cynthia chooses, some things are never meant to be.

An Interesting Genre Mix
Here we have Cynthia dealing with Sherlock Holmes, Watson and Moriarty via an H.G. Wells Time Machine! As implausible as it sounds, I think Seitz pulls it off quite well. Part Fantasy, part SciFi, and part Romance (Cynthia and Watson!?!), it is a short but well done story with excellent narration. Definitely worth a read/listen. I got my copy from Audiobooks Unleashed!

I really liked it!
This was a delightful romp, a science-fiction story, a doomed romance and a great adventure, all rolled up with well chosen pop culture references and lots of funny moments.
A new author to me, but I'll be sure to check for more of his books.

A good idea - spoilt
Firstly I struggled with the narrator, a grating voice and odd pronunciation.
I persevered only to find a good idea spoilt, inconsistent reasons for time travel, and an over elaborate plot. Buffalo Bill, Jack the Ripper, Professor M, Irish rebels etc may all have been around at the same but don't belong in the same story.

Confusing and Inconsistent
Sci-Fi and Sherlock Holmes should have been up my street, but I found myself disappointed by this. The narrative was confusing, and a large proportion of the action is simply related in a final chapter, rather than being directly experienced by our heroine. Also, one minute travelling in time was a complex thing, and then it just happens when someone is asleep with only the most limited of explanation, enabling the author to get out of a corner that he has painted his heroine into (not once but twice). I could also have done without an adjective describing Watson's lovemaking ('vigourous', if you're interested). In his afterword, Seitz talks about wanting to focus on Watson rather than Holmes, but doesn't add anything to Watson's character that we haven't seen in the canon. His habit of referring to his antagonist repeatedly as 'the reptillian Professor Moriarty' also began to grate. If you want an adventure featuring HG Wells' time machine, you'd be better spending your time watching the excellent film 'Time After Time'.
