Yes, you read that right. :>)
Kim Newman's book is excellent. Pure tongue-in-cheek (and sometimes protruding in a bilabial fricative).
Enjoy

I've heard good things about this, thanks!
VERY well written. A true combination of pastiche and parody. The tone and vocabulary are jsut what I would expect from good old "Basher" Moran.
Are you besmirching the Colonels name. You know the Colonel does not take kindly to being slandered.. he he

Not in the slightest, my good man. The Colonel is introduced in the books as "Basher" and his Etonian background, colored by his Indian experience, shines through the darkness of his later "achievements." :>P
Thank you.
Thank You! -------------------- Rick
I was reading this late one night on the subway, laughing out loud at certain paasges. Got some VERY strange looks ...
Bob,
I hope that i can get through it. I used to read constantly but since the accident and the medication to control it my attention span is shot to hell. It's strange, I can sit and listen for a lot longer and the weirdest part is that I can do graphic novels. I chocked it up to length and I can still read short stories so I have a lot of short story anthologies, but put a full length book in front of me and I can read some of it, but when I pick it up again I cannot connect this sitting of reading to the last completely and I get frustrated and say the hell with it. The continuity is gone. It really sucks, so I found other outlets but I do still miss it dearly. --------------------------------------- Rick
This is a collection of connected stories, many starring Col. Moran.
Moran is the Watson to Moriarty's criminous Sherlock Holmes, from their first meeting in "A Volume in Vermilion" to their final parting in "The Problem of the Final Adventure". Moran, nicknamed 'Basher', is portrayed as debauched, violent and as something of an adrenaline junkie but also as educated and not entirely without morals. As the title suggests, the stories feature guest appearances by many of Moriarty and Moran's fictional contemporaries. Around half the stories in the collection had previously been published separately: "A Shambles in Belgravia" in BBC Online's Sherlock Holmes anthology, "A Volume in Vermilion" in Sherlock Holmes' Mystery Magazine, "The Red Planet League" in Gaslight Grimoire, and "The Adventure of the Six Maledictions" in Gaslight Arcanum..
Short Stories' only. Right up my alley. Thank you very much. ----------- Rick
