This book was recommended to me by a therapist who knew both that I was a beekeeper and that I was a Sherlock Holmes fan. Holmes has oft been associated with beekeeping and I was keen to see how Laurie R. King was going to incorporate it in her tale of a bright, independent young woman's unlikely apprenticeship with the aged detective. Fans of Enola Holmes will delight in this novel's pairing of characters.

What is this book about?

In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes--and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protegee and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. But even in their first case together, the pair face a truly cunning adversary who will stop at nothing to put an end to their partnership.

It's hard to describe these collected stories beyond saying they're just wild. Set several thousand years from now—all in the same future history, from AD 6000 to 16000—Smith's flights of imagination are so out there, even by today's standards, that they really must have blown people's minds when he was writing in the 1950s and 1960s. Perhaps their oddness is why he doesn't have the name recognition of his contemporaries like Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, or Arthur C. Clarke, or maybe it's simply because he passed away at only fifty-three in 1966 and wasn't able to build the long legacy of those other writers of the golden age. Although a couple stories are marred by outdated views that are no longer tolerated by contemporary audiences, his work is well worth reading for sci-fi fans.
