I haven’t read it but have read this book in similar vein by a different author but which is set some time after Wells’ novel
The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Martian Menace
By Matthew Kresal“You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.”"No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own..."With those two lines, Arthur Conan...
I worked up a proposal for a Short Trips: The War of the Worlds anthology about fifteen years ago about the Doctors' adventures during the Martian Invasion, and I was waiting for the copyright to expire in the UK before pitching it to Big Finish. But they stopped doing the Short Trips prose anthologies. I would have wanted at least two of the stories to take place on Mars, one of those two to have the Doctor as part of the crew of Thomas Edison's revenge invasion from Garrett P. Serviss' Edison's Conquest of Mars, the unauthorized American sequel.
Manly Wade Wellman's book is interesting. I call it a "novel with Sherlock Holmes." There's little in the way of Sherlock Holmes doing what he does best. Rather, it's what he sees and does during the invasion.Off topic but there was a book about Sherlock Holmes and the WOTW

This book is a ton of fun. It takes place about a decade after a second Martian fleet arrives at Earth and apologizes for the actions of the first invasion. Earth and Mars are allied, with Earth scholars visiting Mars and learning from the cool minds of the ancient Martians. Then there's a murder at the Martian embassy in London, and Sherlock Holmes becomes involved in an investigation that spans two worlds. This, contra Wellman, is "a Sherlock Holmes novel"; he does his thing, even if it's on Mars. Highly recommended.I haven’t read it but have read this book in similar vein by a different author but which is set some time after Wells’ novel

There is the line of novels -- I think there's 6 so far -- that mashes Doctor Who with classic literature. Legends of Camelot, The Wonderful Doctor of Oz, etc. Now that WotW is public domain in the UK, you could pitch a mash-up.
