I recently watched the Downey/Law Sherlock Holmes movie and thought about Holmes and Watson fiction that I’ve recently read. Below are two of them.
The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard. Holmes and Watson on a space station. The culture is Imperial Vietnamese. Holmes is a woman and Watson is a ship damaged in a recent rebellion who makes money by creating and selling tea mixtures that help people deal with the stresses of space travel. Powells link.
A Study in Honor by Claire O’Dell. Holmes and Watson in near future Washington D.C. during American Civil War II. Both Watson and Holmes are African American. Watson is a wounded vet returning from the war and struggling to get a medical job. She lost an arm in the war and has a very low grade bionic arm. Powells link
