The language of boxing gives Kuchner a frame for introducing comet and asteroid attributes in this action- and information-packed science tome featuring an “incredible interplanetary smackdown” that will surely send readers’ gazes skyward. Ample headings and subheadings guide pre-match chatter as first-person prose describes the “contenders” (a “sort of potato-shaped” asteroid vs. “one big, bombastic comet”), as well as the “battlezone” (an asteroid belt “between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter”).

A different kind of family tree, traced through experience and artistry and storytelling.

took a crack at one of the most romantic dramatic scenes in the original stories (cw for blood!) In an instant he had whisked out a revolver from his breast and had fired two shots. I felt a sudden hot sear as if a red-hot iron had been pressed to my thigh. There was a crash as Holmes’s pistol came down on the man’s head. I had a vision of him sprawling upon the floor with blood running down his face while Holmes rummaged him for weapons.
