This is optimized for clarity, tone, and reader trust, not hype.Sherlock Holmes awakens far from Baker Street - on a distant world in the year 2252.Copied, re-aged, and stripped of his addictions, Holmes and Dr. John Watson are informed that they are no longer men, but assets - legally owned duplicates created to serve a civilization that believes copies cannot be harmed.Assigned to investigate crimes no system can resolve, Holmes discovers a disturbing pattern: when victims are legally invisible, harm becomes efficient. Crimes go unrecognized not because they are hidden, but because the law refuses to see them.As Holmes applies his methods to an interplanetary society built on stability and silence, he uncovers a governance flaw no council wishes to confront - one that turns erasure into policy and memory into resistance.The Abduction of Sherlock Holmes is a restrained, philosophical science-fiction novel that explores personhood, ownership, and the danger of systems that solve problems by removing those who remember them.This is not a story of explosions or conquest.It is a story of what happens when truth becomes inconvenient - and refuses to disappear.
