The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

[Riklaa]

The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes About the Anthology Sherlock Holmes, the world’s first—and most famous—consulting detective, came to the world’s attention more than 120 years ago through Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novels and stories. But Conan Doyle didn’t reveal all of the Great Detective’s adventures… Here are some of the best Holmes pastiches of the last 30 years, twenty-eight tales of mystery and the imagination detailing Holmes’s further exploits, as told by many of today’s greatest storytellers, including Stephen King, Anne Perry, Anthony Burgess, Neil Gaiman, Naomi Novik, Stephen Baxter, Tanith Lee, Michael Moorcock, and many more. These are the improbable adventures of Sherlock Holmes, where nothing is impossible, and nothing can be ruled out. In these cases, Holmes investigates ghosts, curses, aliens, dinosaurs, shapeshifters, and evil gods. But is it the supernatural, or is there a perfectly rational explanation? You won’t be sure, and neither will Holmes and Watson as they match wits with pirates, assassins, con artists, and criminal masterminds of all stripes, including some familiar foes, such as their old nemesis, Professor Moriarty. In these pages you’ll also find our heroes crossing paths with H. G. Wells, Lewis Carroll, and even Arthur Conan Doyle himself, and you’ll be astounded to learn the truth behind cases previously alluded to by Watson but never before documented until now. These are tales that take us from the familiar quarters at 221B Baker Street to alternate realities, from the gaslit streets of London to the far future and beyond. Whether it’s mystery, fantasy, horror, or science fiction, no puzzle is too challenging for the Great Detective. The game is afoot!

Nice one on splitting it into stories Bob.
TGW said something about it at the time. I was new to it and a couple of weeks before I'd started with Running Noose (the one here also looks like mine going on file size) and was going on the way somebody had uploaded Secret Cases of one mp3 per CD. It was the first CD I'd ever ripped and I also had to get my head around the ripping software.
Not long later I put up the second list of times for the start of each story and done the same for Noose and Secret Cases (which wasn't even my upload!)
I remember what TGW said niggled me at the time as he said that the box scan showing the tracks 'goes for naught' if it's not uploaded as one track for each mp3 and I replied that I'd said in the description that the box scan was only meant as a guide anyway. I was new to it and said something like I'll upload it in anyway he likes (even different formats like flac) if he describes what he wants.
As you can see from the new Railway set I've learnt my lesson.

Bob,
The intros are minor indeed. If they are there or not it doesn't matter to me. Like I said, I am interested if by properly chaptered you are saying that it is broken by story. Thanks for the offer.-----------------------------Rick

[Anson (Bob) Roberts]

That is exactly what I mean. :>)

These are not my work, I got them from a friend who got them from another online group. I'm not sure of the original source.

I'll post them when i get home this evening.
