The stories were short and plucky enough to hold my attention, and they stopped at just the right time–when I wanted more."- Criminal Element"if you love great characters, good plotting, twists and turns, and a large story-arc that slowly develops and grabs hold, you really owe it to yourself to give the Newbury and Hobbes novels a read."- Geek Dad  "Fans of Sherlock Holmes and steampunk will particularly enjoy these stories, though anyone with a taste for adventure will find much to like here." - Pop Mythology "Mann’s deft hand with suspense and occasional moments of self-aware slyness kept Newbury & Hobbes readable" - Dorkadia"The stories were nicely varied, both in tone, event, and structure.
