Book Description
Winner of the Nebula Award and British Fantasy Award for Best Novella Finalist for the Hugo Award, Locus Award, and World Fantasy Award for Best Novella “A window onto a beautifully developed world that widens the meaning of space opera.” —The New York Times Once, the mindship known as The Shadow's Child was a military transport. Once, she leapt effortlessly between stars and planets, carrying troops and crew for a war that tore the Empire apart. Until an ambush killed her crew and left her wounded and broken. Now the war is over, and The Shadow's Child, surviving against all odds, has run away. Discharged and struggling to make a living, she has no plans to go back into space. Until the abrasive and arrogant scholar Long Chau comes to see her. Long Chau wants to retrieve a corpse for her scientific studies: a simple enough, well-paid assignment. But when the corpse they find turns out to have been murdered, the simple assignment becomes a vast and tangled investigation, inexorably leading back to the past--and, once again, to that unbearable void where The Shadow's Child almost lost both sanity and life... “[The Tea Master and the Detective] is a window onto a beautifully developed world that widens the meaning of space opera, one that centers on Chinese and Vietnamese cultures and customs instead of Western military conventions, and is all the more welcome for it.” —Amal El-Mohtar, The New York Times “The Tea Master and the Detective is the Sherlock Holmes retelling I always wanted and now I have it. And I want so much more of it.” —Ana Grilo, Kirkus “The Tea Master is an astonishing Holmesian mystery, in which Holmes is a woman and Watson is a spaceship. It is everything I wanted it to be. Tea, space, and mysteries within mysteries.” —Mary Robinette Kowal “Ingenious... As a classical blend of far-future SF and traditional murder mystery, The Tea Master and the Detective should satisfy readers unfamiliar with the Xuya universe, but at the same time it’s an intriguing introduction to that universe, much of which seems to lie just outside the borders of this entertaining tale.” —Gary K. Wolfe, Locus “De Bodard constructs a convincingly gritty setting and a pair of unique characters with provocative histories and compelling motivations. The story works as well as both science fiction and murder mystery, exploring a future where pride, guilt, and mercy are not solely the province of humans.” —Publishers' Weekly

Book Description
Now you can follow in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in and around London. Recaptured in sepia prints from the late Victorian era and stunning full-color photographs of the city as it is today, you walk down the same streets as Colonel Sebastian Moran, the Baker Street Irregulars, and the Greek Interpreter. Join Holmes as he takes in an evening of Wagner at Covent Garden Theatre. Stand in the very room at St. Bartholomew's Hospital where Dr. Watson first meets the great detective in A Study in Scarlet, and travel down the fogshrouded Thames in pursuit of Jonathan Small from The Sign of Four. London has changed since the days when the sun never set on the British Empire, but you can still see where Holmes battled that Napoleon of crime, Professor Moriarty, unraveled the mystery of The Noble Bachelor, and the woman, Irene Adler. Ride double-decker busses where horse-drawn broughams clopped through the night; visit a replica of the sitting room of Holmes and Watson at the pub The Sherlock Holmes; drink a pint in Moriarty's Baker Street Station. They're all here and more in photographs and maps, supplemented by the incomparable engravings of Holme's foremost illustrator, Sidney Paget. Holmes fans and armchair travelers alike will rejoice with this full-color photographic odyssey through the London of the world's first consulting detective.
