Have you ever wondered about the clients who came to the front door
of 221B Baker Street: whence they derived, how they heard of
Holmes, who sent them? This book answers these questions. For, as
Watson said: "I have often observed the two advantages that my
friend Holmes has over most other private detectives and also the
police. One is that it is very rare for him to fail, and the other
springs from that. In short, his clients tend to recommend him
vigorously to others, and, if they have a new problem themselves,
it is to Holmes their mind automatically turns for aid again." Here
are fourteen new cases by repeat customers written by award-winning
author Lyn McConchie, in which the famous duo deals with blackmail,
a kidnapped child, a lost gem of immense value, a missing girl, and
other heinous crimes, including murder most foul--and know that for
every crime investigated, there will be a Holmesian solution, of
far better than seven percent
In 1959 Andre Norton published "The Beast Master," a fast-paced
science fiction adventure that introduced to readers a new kind of
hero, Hosteen Storm. Storm, a Navajo from the American southwest,
served in the Planetary Confederacy forces as a Beast Master teamed
with an African eagle, a meercat, and a dune cat.
Telepathically linked to his team animals, Storm served valiantly
in the war that eventually defeated the alien Xiks, though victory
could not prevent the aliens from destroying Earth. With his
homeworld gone, Storm emigrated to the colonized frontier planet
Arzor, where he would have to help fight a holdout Xik force that
has brought the war to his adopted home.
In "Lord of Thunder," Storm's beast master skills and animal
partners are needed to unravel the mystery behind a huge gathering
of the indigenous Norbies. Only Storm and his half-brother Logan
Quade can penetrate the Norbies' clan secrets and discover what is
behind the threat of an uprising that could destroy the tenuous
peace between the colonists and the aliens who share their planet.
These two novels are science fiction adventure at its best. Here is
exciting space opera full of colorful, absorbing SF action on an
alien world, as only Andre Norton can write it.
