Our Patron Book Club joins us to discuss Manly Wade Wellman’s “Sherlock Holmes’s War of the Worlds”, classic Sherlock, the Professor Challenger stories, sycophantic women, the differing moral compasses of the characters, the lens of the Vietnam War, tearing down H.G. Wells, undefeatable villains, adding mechanical wings to random encounters, proto-Lovecrafian beasties, high versus low-level gaming, and much more!

I am really, really far behind on listening to the podcast, but I am working on catching up!
The crystal egg also comes from an HG Wells story.
My reading of this story is that Holmes is disparaging Victorian attitudes toward homosexuality, not agreeing with them.
Excellent listening!
