221B 43 - An Extinction Level Event

Giallo - short story (19 pagine) - The sky is falling—only Sherlock Holmes can see it. In 1908, Sherlock Holmes is haunted not by a crime, but by a cosmic question: how did the mighty dinosaurs vanish from the Earth? When he begins scanning the heavens for answers, he witnesses something terrifying—a celestial projectile hurtling toward the planet. Racing to Siberia with Watson and Mycroft, they arrive just in time to witness the Tunguska Event firsthand. Now Holmes must not only solve a prehistoric mystery but prevent humanity from suffering the same fate. London businessman, Orlando Pearson is the creator of The Redacted Sherlock Holmes series, which buries forever the idea that Sherlock Holmes might not have been a historical person. Do you want to see Sherlock Holmes come to the rescue of Queen Victoria, arrange the borders of post-war Europe, clear Macbeth of murder, unravel King Oedipus’s complexities, or provide advice to the Almighty? Then you will find all this and more in the seven collections of short stories, two novels, and the six plays in the series. When not communing with the spirits of 221b, Orlando enjoys sport, music, and browsing price comparison websites. He has written Sherlock Holmes stories on all these topics.
