Sherlock Holmes: The Army of Dr. Moreau
Sherlock Holmes: The Army of Dr. Moreau is a novel by Guy Adams. It was published by Titan Books on August 7, 2012.[1]
Plot[edit]
The Army of Doctor Moreau takes consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, from the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and pits him against the vivisectionist Dr. Moreau from H. G. Wells' The Island of Dr. Moreau.
Dead bodies are found on the streets of London with wounds that can only be explained as "the work of ferocious creatures not native to the city".[2] Sherlock's brother Mycroft, however, recognises the bodies as the calling cards of Dr. Moreau, whose earliest experiments had secretly been funded by the British government.[3]
Of interest to furries are the presence within the story of various human-animal and animal-animal hybrids, the creations of Dr. Moreau. These include a hound-gorilla composite, a "horse-headed feller", and leopard-, goat-, and black panther-men[3]
