Es gibt keinen größeren Detektiv als Sherlock Holmes. Und der vorliegende Band ist die größte Sammlung neuer Sherlock-Holmes-Geschichten, die seit langem erschienen ist. Fast alle Geschichten wurden speziell für diese Anthologie geschrieben und sind nie zuvor auf Deutsch erschienen. Zu den Autoren zählen große Namen wie Amy Myers, Peter Tremayne, Stephen Baxter, H. R. F. Keating und viele mehr. Sie sind der Atmosphäre der Original-Holmes-Geschichten treu geblieben. Aufgegriffen wurden jene Fälle, die Dr. John H. Watson in seinen Aufzeichnungen zwar erwähnt, aber nie zu eigenen Geschichten ausgearbeitet hat. Zusätzlich ist dieser Band mit einer ausführlichen Chronologie der Fälle Holmes und einer umfangreichen Bibliografie ausgestattet. Vortrefflich, mein lieber Watson!

100 Jahre nach dem Tod von Jules Verne, einem Urvater der Science Fiction, erweist eine Riege von Top-Autoren dem literarischen Vorbild ihre Ehrerbietung: Sie legen eine Sammlung neuer Geschichten vor, die allesamt um Vernes Werk kreisen. Dabei lassen sie sich von Vernes Ideen und seinen Figuren inspirieren, und der Meister selbst scheint ihnen wohlwollend über die Schulter zu schauen. Der Leser darf sich auf eine Reihe außergewöhnlicher Reisen entführen lassen und Abenteuer miterleben, die in allen Winkeln der Erde spielen ... und sogar in ihrem Inneren. Stets ist Verne präsent, ob durch die liebevolle Hommage an In Achtzig Tagen um die Welt, die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde oder an 20.000 Meilen unter dem Meer.
