Re: Other books

It's a great series, taking place during and post-WWI, after Holmes has &quot;retired&quot; to keep bees, he meets Mary Russell and takes her on as an apprentice. The first book is The Beekeeper's Apprentice. (Who'd've thunk it?) They're the best-written Holmes novels I've found, maybe even better than Doyle (gasp!).

They cannot conquer forever!</p>
