Redacted Novels

Unearthed after being lost for nearly a century, at last the memoirs of Mycroft Holmes are available to the general public. Students and followers of his brother, the Great Baker Street detective, Sherlock Holmes, have to date only been offered two stories in which Mycroft Holmes appears and two in which he is mentioned. This publication of the memoirs of Mycroft Holmes after their sensational discovery in the summer of 2023 transforms our understanding of Sherlock Holmes's more intelligent elder brother. In this volume we see what it is when one extraordinarily talented person is the British Government as Mycroft Holmes applies his skills in statecraft to tax evasion, royal honours, Partygate, the 1918 Armistice, and the Abdication crisis of 1936. Mycroft Holmes was at his apogee in the time covered by these memoirs. Is it just chance that this time constituted the zenith of Britain's powers?

Why is Britain Great? Could it be because in charge for many years was Mycroft Holmes, the only man in history more intelligent than Sherlock Holmes? Read in Further Studies in Statecraft how Mycroft turns the Ripper and the Dreyfus affairs to Great Britain's advantage, extends the political career of Winston Churchill, deals with Hitler's girlfriends and his only Jewish Field-Marshal, and bests American President, Ronald Crump, in a trade negotiation. The political stratagems are straight out of the textbook of Niccolò Machiavelli. And the account of these historic events is in the hands of master-chronicler of Holmesian events, Orlando Pearson.
