Narrated by: Christopher Kendrick

The world's greatest detective in the retro futuristic realms of steampunk!

Imagine a slight change to our historical timeline where the Industrial Revolution heated up much quicker than expected. Technological marvels such as airships, trains, battleships, and submarines came into being much earlier. They were followed by steam-powered wonders such as mechanical men, flying ships, and even crafts capable of reaching the deepest fathoms of the sea or traveling to distant celestial orbs. That is the world where Sherlock Holmes and his Boswell, Dr. Watson find themselves in Sherlock Holmes: Adventures in the Realms of Steampunk.

Tales of a Retro Future, volume one of the anthology, features stories with a focus on steampunk inventions. See airships cloud the skies, robotic swans on the attack, and apparatuses appear to raise the dead:

• The Silver Swan by Cara Fox (The Strange Case of Doctor Magorian)
• The Adventure of the Pneumatic Box by Robert Perret (For King and Country)
• The Adventure of the Portable Exo-Lung by G. C. Rosenquist (Sherlock Holmes: The Pearl of Death and Other Early Stories)
• The Body at the Ritz by Stephen Herczeg (Sherlock Holmes: Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells, Volume 1)
• The Hounds of Anuket by John Linwood Grant (Occult Detective Quarterly)
• Treasure of the Dragon by Thomas Fortenberry (An Improbable Truth: The Paranormal Adventures of Sherlock Holmes)
• Sherlock Holmes and the Clockwork Count by Benjamin Langley (Dead Branches)

Plus an introduction by Editor Derrick Belanger.
