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 -- his Great Hiatus! This story also has the distinction of being the true first sequel to Horace Holly's "She," which was published in 1887 under the byline of Holly's agent, H. Rider Haggard. The only heretofore known sequel, "Ayesha: The Return of She," records events that occurred two decades after "She." This new tale, then, is a record of the events that took place between the previously published adventures.

Sherlock Holmes Goes to Tibet - And Meets Ayesha's 'Boys'!
26 avril 2009
Par Daniel Baldridge
- Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Broché
Having previously read Mr. Miller's novel "The Great Detective and the Crucible of Life" and finding it immensely enjoyable, it was inevitable that I would purchase and read his, as yet, only other published Sherlock Holmes book "The Great Detective on the Roof of the World." I admit that I was a little astonished at the brevity of the work (104 pages) and felt it be more akin to a short story than a novel, but not a little astonished at Mr. Miller's fecund imagination in creating a scenario where Sherlock Holmes meets H. Horace Holly and Leo Vincey ('Ayesha's Boys' in case you were wondering) between the latter's adventures in H. Rider Haggard's SHE and AYESHA and all three are embroiled in an exciting murder mystery in a Tibetan library. The most interesting thing about ROOF OF THE WORLD is the discovery by Holmes, Leo and Holly of a journal written by one Issa, also known as Jesus Christ, who supposedly spent some time at said library in almost a century earlier. I won't go into any more detail about this, only urge anyone who's reading this review to go and get this book, if you haven't already. As for those certain Christians who are foaming at the mouth at such an idea being propounded, let me just end by quoting from John 21:25(RSV): "But there are many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written."

Tree Abuse, or, A Waste of Good Wood Pulp

There is a character in this book with the name of Sherlock Holmes, and that is as close as it gets to being a good read. The "Holmes" in this "book" does not talk like Doyle's Holmes, does not behave like a good pastiche of Holmes, nor does he think like a genuine attempt at Holmes. The author uses the setting of Tibet to introduce a monk as the real Christ, which Holmes immediately accepts as fact, then the book ends.
