"I enjoyed Eric Brown's clever plot and the mysteries about the Martians that Holmes and Challenger manage to penetrate. If you're in the mood for a couple wonderful Sherlock Holmes pastiches with a Science Fiction flavor, I recommend Sherlock Holmes and War of the Worlds and The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. GRADE: B+ (for both)" - George Kelley blog review
