The Peerless Peer
by Philip José Farmer
'Twas a mediocre book--certainly Mr. Farmer has written better. It's a tale of Holmes & Watson, called out of retirement during World War I, to undertake a mission for the crown. Circumstances take them to Africa, where they encounter Lord Greystoke, the King of the Jungle.As a Holmesian tale, there's not much mystery. As a Tarzan tale, it's not all that adventurous. Nor was it funny enough to tell if the entire story was supposed to be a parody or simply a light hearted homage. It will serve as waiting room material, but I wouldn't really recommend it.
