When August Derleth died on July 4, 1971, he had written and finished revising all the stories for The Chronicles of Solar Pons. The manuscript lay on his desk, ready for final typing.This, then, is the... last major collection of the Pontine series. However much the reader may regret bidding goodbye to a cherished friend of more than forty years' constance, the ten tales presented here make for a fine and fitting exit.The range and variety of the puzzle-problems are wide. There is the classic flight-and-pursuit motif of the espionage thriller, The Adventure of the Orient Express. The strangeness of The Adventure of the Benin Bronze and the grim search in The Adventure of the Missing Tenants are matched by the long and tangled web behind The Adventure of the Red Leech.Whether enjoyed as pure entertainment, or for the exercise of nimble minds in an attempt to outwit Solar Pons, the reader will find in these pages an additional reward: the easy flow of a prose style that is the hallmark of a superior craftsman.- From the original 1973 Mycroft & Moran edition dust jacket… (mehr)

    The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Short Stories von Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (uncultured)
    uncultured: This series, written by Holmes afficianado August Derleth, are bar none the absolute closest thing to channeling Holmes on the planet. At first it seems like a cheap parody--Holmes' brother Mycroft has become Bancroft, Dr. Watson is now Dr. Parker, etc...but once that frightened governess pops through the door you'll see just how well Mr. Derleth has done. Pons even has his own fan club. The stories take place in the 1920's, but aside from using automobiles are essentially the same foggy gaslit things that made Watson & Co. so endearing. Derleth wrote six books of stories and has been succeeded by the very capable Basil Copper.… (mehr)

A very good substitute for the Sherlock Holmes stories. Any Holmes fan will enjoy this collection. There are 5 other collections before another writer (Basil Copper) takes on the character.

For Sax Rohmer fans there is a beautiful crossover with Fu Manchu. ( )

These stories feel more strongly of Sherlock Holmes than many modern pieces written with Sherlock Holmes as a character. Given that Solar Pons is not Sherlock Holmes, at least nominally, that's something of a backhanded compliment. There's nothing here that advanced the state-of-the-art in mystery writing beyond the Victorian age, but if you're looking for more stories almost exactly as they might have come from Arthur Conan Doyle's pen, this collection offers that, and quite well done.
