Books like The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: War of the Worlds

First writen way back in 1968 & published in 1975 this American classic over 50ys ago sees Holmes not with Watson but with Professor Challenger from Doyle's lost world. They give great discretion of him.But this lacks the sprit of Holmes as we have no mystery nore do we have any Watson .H.G Well's is talked about but that is it. What gets me most is that Holmes is not right he wouldn't have not told Watson he would have told Challenger to except him too. I find that this book has dated too as we now no lot more about Mars than in 1968 when Patrick Troughton's Ice Warriors were the Martian warriorsThen comes the final straw that brakes the camel's back that makes this utterly wrong Holmes .Mrs Hutson & Holmes have being having a steamy sex affair for over 25 years but she is still Married to Mr. Hutson ! I have seen movie years ago with Rodger Moore as Holmes (he was nealy as bad as Tom Baker or Charleston Hestston ) were had two children by Irena Adler!Mrs Hutson comes across as older so did that make Holmes a Toy boy?I find the rest of it OK, as it has the song Forever Autumn when your not here , in my head from musical War of the World's. My song with my late wife always makes me sad thinking of her.You need to know the song , it's special like Bright eyes.Shame the book isn'tThe next part deals with Challenger 's Martian story which is also useless if have not read the Lost World .I always thought Challenger was to good to be true & not Doyle's best at all , bit silly.
