A Study in Scarlet is a 1887 detective novel by British author Arthur Conan Doyle. Written in 1886, the story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become two of the most famous characters in popular fiction. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes, an amateur detective, to his friend and chronicler Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it."

In time, he'll face the darkest question of them all: what if there are some worlds -- and some children -- even the Doctor can't save?

CONTINUED FROM DOCTOR WHO: THE EVANGELION ERROR - BOOK ONE. Ever since he met the alien wanderer/schoolteacher called the Doctor, fourteen-year-old Shinji Ikari's life has only gotten crazier by the day. With the Doctor's help, he's survived getting press-ganged as a child soldier in a war for humanity's survival, alien invasions, zombie attacks, fourth-dimensional tactics, the origin of all life on Earth, and even the wrath of his fellow pilot Asuka. Strangest of all, he finds that he may -- for the first time that he can remember -- actually be enjoying himself. His newfound enjoyment of his life may not last for long, however, as the Doctor continues to probe the dark secrets at the heart of the paramilitary organization NERV. From an old enemy hiding deep beneath the streets of the city, to a shadowy international conspiracy seeking to manipulate humanity's future, to a series of even more insidious attacks from the mysterious aliens known as the Angels -- it's going to take Shinji everything he has just to hold on to what remains of his sanity. And even that may not be enough to save him. It seems that the future holds a terrible fate for Shinji -- one that not even the Doctor can protect him from...
