Interesting idea, but poorly executed. The book bogged down toward the middle. There was little or not adherence to the characteristics of either Holmes brother, or to much else of the Holmes canon.

"An incredible manuscript is unearthed, containing an astounding tale told by Mycroft Holmes, the mysterious elder brother of the world-famous sleuth Sherlock Holmes.
It is 1875, and Mycroft is embroiled in a fantastic scheme to overthrow the American government and restore the Confederacy under British rule. The conspiracy involves spies, counterspies, murder and kidnapping - and extends to William Gladstone, Benjamin Disraeli, a young Sergeant Lestrade, and the villainous Moriarty family.
As the Holmes brothers dash through Victorian London, following clues and culprits alike, their dramatic discoveries end in a thrilling chase through the sky." - jacket notes
Silly - other Holmes pastiches are better, but none of them are as good as Conan Doyle.
