Scarlet Traces: A War of the Worlds Anthology: A War of the Worlds Anthology by I.N.J. Culbard, Stephen Baxter
4.0
*I received an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks for the free book.*
If you like H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds", you will like this compilation that is set after the Marsian invasion has taken place. You will meet Sherlock Holmes, T.S. Eliot, Tesla and many more well known personell from literature in addition to new inventions.
I did not enjoy all of the short stories in these compilations. Some were too short, some too long, and others just couldn't surprise me. Then again, the Marsian version of T.S. Eliot's "Wasteland" is superb and blew my mind. I also quite liked the Sherlock Holmes story.
4 Stars!
