  The Canary Trainer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canary Trainer: From the Memoirs of John H. Watson (1993) is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche by Nicholas Meyer.
Like The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, of which this novel is a direct sequel, The Canary Trainer was published as a "lost manuscript" of the late Dr.
On one level, The Canary Trainer is a detective story with doses of action-adventure, but Holmes's thoughts about building a new identity bring in a much more contemplative, almost philosophical element, much like the mystery-story parodies Vladimir Nabokov constructed (compare Lolita, Pale Fire or The Real Life of Sebastian Knight).

 Notorious Canary-Trainers
The Madison Sherlock Holmes society known as the Notorious Canary Trainers was founded in April, 1969, by Sherlock Holmes' enthusiasts in the area.

Having now read all three Nicholas Meyer pastiches based on the Conan Doyle series, I must say that "The Canary Trainer" is the least satisfying of the three--however, middling Meyer is better than no Meyer at all.
However as a POTO story I have to say The Canary Trainer really leaves a lot to be desired.
So although I felt "The Canary Trainer" had good potential initially by the end I was severely disapointed.

 Review of The Alternative Sherlock Holmes: Pastiches, Parodies and Copies by Peter Ridgway Watt & Joseph Green
Nicholas Meyer's third pastiche, The Canary Trainer, is noticeably absent, as are all of Frank Thomas's novels (cynics might say understandably so, but they are historically important in a survey of pastiches, being the first series of Holmes novels to be published in the mass market), and Robert Lee Hall's The King Edward Plot.
The Pursuit of the Houseboat, the first novel-length story to feature Holmes as a character, gets a only a brief mention (inaccurately) as another book by John Kendrick Bangs which contained a Sherlock Holmes pastiche, under the erroneous title In the Pursuit of the Houseboat and does not appear in the index.
Gerald Frow’s two Young Sherlock novels, Watkin Jones’s The Case of the Scarlet Woman, Sydney Hosier’s Elementary, Mrs Hudson and its sequels, Nicholas Meyer’s The Canary Trainer (though Sam Siciliano’s simultaneous take on the same theme, The Angel of the Opera, is included), and others.

 The Woman Behind the Mask: The Role of Christine in Adaptations of Leroux's Phantom of the Opera
This novel was soon followed by Susan Kay's Phantom, often considered the definitive Phantom retelling, as well as Nicholas Meyer's The Canary Trainer, and Sam Siciliano's The Angel of the Opera.
While all of these novels draw on the characters as defined by Leroux and on the symbols associated with the Leroux story (masks, music, angels, roses, etc.), they differ to the extent to which they adhere to or depart from the various elements of the original novel.
The second Christine that possesses traits not required by her role comes from the novel The Canary Trainer by Nicholas Meyer.

 Phantom Books: British Mystery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Review: The Canary Trainer is a bad first draft that inadvertently made its way to the printers.
The author achieves absolutely no resolution of the plot problems; the Erik here is an unknown quantity, sometimes described as a ghost, sometimes as a ladies' man seeking revenge for god-knows-what.
I disliked the ending as being somewhat insulting to Erik's character, but otherwise, Angel is a happy read.

Nicholas Meyer as the author of The Seven Percent Solution, and two less successful follow-ups, The West End Horror and The Canary Trainer (which I thought was quite good).
Meyer has been extremely successful as a movie writer and director, and has moved into the producer role the past few years.
Interestingly enough, he receives fourth billing behind Watson, Freud, and the female lead.

 Feature | Eternally My Dear Watson
Among the best known of these is Nicholas Meyer's The Seven Per-Cent Solution (1974), which makes much of Holmes' acknowledged cocaine habit.
(Unfortunately, two Meyer sequels -- The West End Horror (1976) and The Canary Trainer (1993) -- don't measure up to the original.) Also worth reading is Michael Hardwick's The Revenge of the Hound (1987), a fine and faithful extension of The Hound of the Baskervilles.
But steer clear of Hardwick's previous -- and tedious -- Holmes escapade, Prisoner of the Devil (1979), involving the sleuth with the scandal surrounding French "traitor" Alfred Dreyfus.

 The Original Wold Newton Universe Crossover Chronology Part IV
I discount Meyer's references to the events of The Seven-Percent Solution, following Wold Newton scholar Mark Brown's theory that Meyer was fooled by the Seven-Percent manuscript, which was a hoax perpetrated by the second Professor Moriarty.
The events of The Canary Trainer also appear to be a sequel or "copycat" incident of some sort, since the original case of The Phantom of the Opera took place in 1880.
Following these events, Holmes pursued Irene Adler to Montenegro, a decision which would culminate in the birth of twins Nero Wolfe and Marco Vukcic the next year.
