Book Review: WEIRD TALES Magazine Reviews The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier
Summary: 5 Stars
Nick Mamatas reviews BLACK DOSSIER in the brand new WEIRD TALES magazine (No. 348, Jan/Feb 2008) that I just received. He says, in part, "Skim the hardcover [book] and you'll experience . . . the extended prose sections, feel the changing paper stock, and even catch a glimpse of the tipped-in "Tijuana bible" before flipping to the end and seeing the 3D glasses taped to the back cover flap...if you sit down and closely read BLACK DOSSIER, you will be won over... BLACK DOSSIER is Coltrane and Miles Davis. Genius... BLACK DOSSIER is so rich in text, art, and design...that you'll refer to it, over and over, dipping in like you would into a collection of jazz LPs."
That was enough for me. It sounds wonderful, and I ordered it and I can't wait for it to arrive in the mail from Amazon so I can experience vicariously more adventures of my favorite African adventurer Allan Quatermain.
I'm especially excited because I am the author of The Great Detective at the Crucible of Life, the first novel-length literary continuation of Allan Quatermain (as opposed to the graphic novels, which I have and treasure in both comics form and hardcover, and insertions into the Wold Newton family of crossover fiction) and adds chapters to the lives of both Quatermain and Sherlock Holmes. I've written it as a Quatermain memoir and African adventure, very much as H. Rider Haggard originally told all his Quatermain tales, such as She and Allan and Allan Quatermain and the Ice Gods.
I can hardly wait to get BLACK DOSSIER in the mail. Dimes to doughnuts it will be a total blast!! My own critique will follow soon.
Summary of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier
England in the mid 1950s is not the same as it was. The powers that be have instituted...some changes. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have been disbanded and disavowed, and the country is under the control of an iron-fisted regime. Now, after many years, the still youthful Mina Murray and a rejuvenated Allan Quatermain return and are in search of some answers. Answers that can only be found in a book buried deep in the vaults of their old headquarters, a book that holds the key to the hidden history of the League throughout the ages: The Black Dossier. As Allan and Mina delve into the details of their precursors, some dating back centuries, they must elude their dangerous pursuers who are Hell-bent on retrieving the lost manuscript... and ending the League once and for all.General Books
