Story
It has taken over 80 years, but at long last, the British government’s embargo on reporting this slice of diplomatic history has been lifted. It was in November 1940 that a senior minister at the British foreign office in blacked-out London commissioned Holmes and Watson to go to Berlin to negotiate a prisoner of war swap with the German high command. And the price demanded by Nazi Propaganda Minister, Joseph Göbbels, for any prisoner's release? That the two work with the Berlin police to capture a serial killer who is stalking the city’s railway network.

Story
For all we know, or think we know, about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, what we don’t know is far, far greater. In the duo’s first case, A Study in Scarlet, we learn that Holmes and Watson met on January 1st, 1881, and subsequently moved into an apartment together at 221b Baker Street. Their first case officially began on March 4th of that year, and it is argued that “The Adventure of the Resident Patient” possibly took place in October of 1881, depending on which version of the story you read. But what happened during the rest of 1881? Or all of 1882?

Mr. Golledge passed away in 1996, before these stories could be published. In early 2022, Terry’s son, Niel Golledge, reached out to Sherlockian editor David Marcum, who was electrified to read such wonderful previously lost tales about the heroes of Baker Street.

A fast-paced classic adventure with modern twists
Mycroft Holmes and the Adventure of the Desert Wind starts out at a fast pace and never really slows down, all without feeling rushed. The main characters tumble from one tight situation to the next, with any downtime in between being acknowledged, but not drawn out, which I appreciated.
Mycroft, a smugly confident action hero in this book, is a bit of a bastard, but not irredeemably so, and the two other main characters - Dr. John Watson and Secret Agent Victoria Trevor - get their own chances to shine and demonstrate competence despite Mycroft's initial conviction that any company will only slow him down.
I must admit that apart from seeing a few film and TV adaptations, I am largely unfamiliar with the Sherlock Holmes stories.
This didn't impair my enjoyment of the story as far as I can tell, although I'm sure fans of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories will recognize a character more here and there.
At the same time, The Adventure of the Desert Wind deviates from the originals (as far as I'm aware) both in terms of Mycroft Holmes' character traits as well as in its treatment of supernatural powers.
Whether you consider this blasphemy or a welcome change of pace depends on your relationship to the original story, I suppose.
Very mild/vauge spoiler: Personally, I appreciated some of the changes, but was left a bit wanting in terms of receiving an "aaah" moment where strange occurrences suddenly start making sense.
Narration:
The narrator does a very good job at evoking a sense of stress during the action scenes, but it took me a moment to get used to his voice and style of speaking - I had a little bit of trouble understanding every word in the beginning.
He also doesn't distinguish very clearly between different speaking voices, making it sometimes difficult to determine the speaker or to guess whether something is said out loud or part of the main character's inner monologue.
I also must admit that I didn't particularly like the slightly cliched Italian accents for Italian characters.
In conclusion: Mycroft Holmes and the Adventure of the Desert Wind is a quick, enjoyable and entertaining read not without its flaws.
For transparency's sake: the book's author is a friend of mine.

Steampunk James Bond
I respect the right of an author to fill in the blanks in a character. But this author took the names of the characters we know, and created entirely different characters. I did not recognize Mycroft Holmes or Dr. Watson.
The doctor was an incompetent weakling, and Mycroft was an arrogant, obnoxious, and completely unlikable clone of James Bond. I never liked them, and if I hadn’t agreed to an honest review in exchange for a free copy, I would not have bothered to finish. I would have asked for an exchange, for a title I might enjoy.
And this audiobook was not helped by the narrator. He is guilty of phonetic assimilation (look it up). Basically he runs words together, often losing syllables along the way.
In addition, he quite frequently misread and mispronounced words. One in particular, which might be the author’s fault, was “nondescriptive”. There are two words, (not) descriptive and nondescript. But the third is just wrong.
I know I don’t have the knowledge or talent to be a cosmologist, so I don’t try. In a like vein, this narrator lacks the vocabulary and the talent to read audiobooks. Give it up, dude, for all our sakes.
So all in all, I think I’d give this one a miss.
