Game's Afoot Again

The year is 2163. Jeremy Watson, a fifteen-year-old prodigy in advanced robotics, builds an android—a walking, talking robotic duplicate of a human being. Jeremy, a direct descendant of Doctor Watson, Sherlock Holmes’ trusted friend and chronicler, names his android Holmes. When Jeremy and Holmes travel to England to spend the summer with his cousin, Jeremy finds that his uncle, Inspector Hudson Saint Claire, and Professor Beekeeper are investigating the disappearance of a well-known American philanthropist at Stonehenge. Reports of bank robberies, visions of Merlin and strange viruses on space shuttles confound the police. Professor Beekeeper comes up with an idea. If he can download enough information about Sherlock Holmes into Jeremy’s android and turn it into the great detective, maybe then they will be able to solve the mysteries. The experiment is a success and Holmes, the android, now the world’s greatest detective, with his Watson is hot on the case.Burton, R. is the author of 'Game's Afoot Again', published 2004 under ISBN 9781413726688 and ISBN 1413726682.
