2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Magnificent fun with a swinging 60's rock band/Adventurers! By Charles Loridans Created by Jim Beard, six rollicking and rocking yarns by himself and five other writers, Nathan Meyer, M. H. Norris, Rocko Jerome, Sam Gafford and Joseph Amere, each delivering a solid tale of the Lemon Herberts.A fictional band, created from Beard's imagination but with elements of real bands and musicians from that era, the writers seem to have had a blast with these stories, and that fun is infectious to the reader.I couldn't help but be reminded of Saturday morning cartoons like The Hardy Boys, Josie and the Pussy Cats, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids and the Chan Clan. Rock Stars who had adventures and solved mysteries.Some of the tales are light and fun, others are a little dark and somewhat trippy.I highly recommend this book! Hoping for a follow up!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Lemon Herberts By James Bojaciuk This book wasn't quite what I was expecting. For whatever reason, probably through the fault of my misfiring synapses, I expected something more in tune with The Monkees--insane, bonkers, living cartoons centered around madcap action-adventure plots. Most of the stories are much, much more realistic; even when they begin to narrow in on Monkees style madness (particularly in Jim Beard's story), there's still a gulf between my expectations and reality.I'm prefixing the review with this to warn anyone else who might've stumbled into the wrong idea of what this collection is about. Because as much as I expected The Monkees, this is its own creature. It's nostalgic for a time that never was, and pushes hard for the hopes and dreams of young people and youth culture (though as a youth myself...let's say that's not a theme I'm built to enjoy).It's its own, unique creation. It stands firmly on its own legs, triumphant in everything it wanted to accomplish. If it appeals to you, you're the person this collection was made for.THE STORIES:I'm going to be going very in-depth into what I feel works, and what I feel doesn't. It might be a bit much for someone trying to decide if they want to buy the book (you should), but I feel if an author doesn't learn something from the review, it's not a very good review.Jim Beard's "Call to Arms" (four stars)A solid start to the collection. Plenty of humor, plenty of action, and it has the best forward-drive of all the stories. Even if the editor *hadn't* written this story, it's the ideal thing to launch into on page one.This story comes nearest to The Monkees in tone. It's well written, and it's a great introduction to (most) of the characters. But as much as I dug the humor, I couldn't get into the Cold War spy-show satire. I think my problem, personally, was that the agencies' plans didn't make sense in the mostly-"realistic" world the rest of the stories built. I also couldn't dig into how Her Majesty was used, in the end, resolving the plot because she's sexy. It's a shame that most of this mini-review is griping; it's a fine story, but marred by the above. It's a great start for the collection.Nathan Meyer's "The Night Travelin' Hard Landing Blues" (three stars)This story dragged a bit. But once the two secret societies enter the picture things picked up. It ended up being a fun little peek into the secret history of Lemon Herberts universe. If there's a second volume, I'd love to see another author pick up on Key Masons. This story has some fun dialogue, and it's really Ally's time to shine.I wish this story had skipped the mystery, which dragged on a little, to jump right to the occult conspiracy. It feels like that was the reason this story exists, and it was a great deal of fun. In this story Her Majesty has a nickname, "Queenie." No-one mentions it in any of the other stories. I wish Beard had edited this out; it's a weird artifact of the creative process. I dislike that "Her Majesty is sexy" is used as a plot resolution for the second time in a row, this time distracting cultist guards instead of secret agents.M.H. Norris' "Puzzle Pieces." (four stars)Another strong contender. This is the story where the characters came alive, to me, and was by far the best story for Her Majesty and Hawks. They shine, and they shine bright, in a story that really enthrones the intelligence and detective skills of our leads.Tone problems continue, though. This story is completely realistic; providing someone is mad enough to give the villain's plan a shot, you could use it to sabotage any pop sensation's concert. I don't have any issues with this story, particularly, though I think Norris would've done well to focus less on the fans and more on the investigation.Rocko Jerome's "Dragon Lady Island." (two stars)I couldn't get into this one.Everyone feels out of character. On the plus side, it's absurdly cartoonish.Sam Gafford's "A Song of Spring" (four stars)I've followed Mr. Gafford's work on William Hope Hodgson for a few years now, so I was surprised to encounter him here. A solid, well-told story. The "secret origin" for Bollywood is cute. Some of the dialogue made me break down laughing.Hawks feels badly out of character, unfortunately. He's the kind of Englishman you expect from The Monkees, instead of the mysterious, noble man the rest of the stories built. But, then, I suspect Mr. Gafford was writing for something closer to my initial expectations. Then again, this story has more of the "Young people can save the world" philosophy than most of the other stories. It's hard to say. Her Majesty plays damsel in distress, but it feels earned. I wish her real name had been set up better, though, either in this story or somewhere else in the collection. I also wish the Bollywood connection had been built on, and "redeemed" by heroic characters. It's the one real false note that Bollywood is left as a villain's plan.Joseph Lamere's "Contact High" (four stars)A fascinating sort of post-mortem on the book, looking back on it as a series of conspiracy whispers. This is the most fascinating story in the book, and to say more would ruin it. It's equal parts ghost story, conspiracy thriller, sci-fi, and everything else that went into this book.I wish the author had included more objective description. Scenes had a tendency to float about, without being nailed in time and space. But, reading this story, I'm not sure that wasn't intentional and a carefully laid part of the story.CONCLUSIONThis is a good collection, and more than worth your time and money. Despite the tone crashing about all over the place, despite the wildly varying characterizations, and despite whatever other issues I might have had, this is a fun book. The love the authors had for it shines through, and that's rare enough.Pick it up, if you're into sem-serious musical adventures. You won't be disappointed.I'm wishing for a second volume (possibly an annual series). The authors all did a great job, and I'd love to see what they could do with a more consistent tone and background. Here's hoping.

I felt like a kid again, watching fun and clever cartoons and old mystery films in my basement on a Saturday morning. A delightful and well-written romp that I hope to see in many sequels in the future!
