Synopsis

Before the legend, there was the man...and a powerful destiny to fulfill.

On October 26, 1881, three outlaws lay dead in a dusty vacant lot in Tombstone, Arizona. Standing over them-- Colts smoking-- were Wyatt Earp, his two brothers Morgan and Virgil, and a gun-slinging gambler named Doc Holliday. The shootout at the O.K. Corral was over-- but for Earp, the fight had just begun.

Wyatt Earp was a man who craved fame, power and prominence. He came to Tombstone with a plan to get elected sheriff, and a dream of building the biggest business empire the booming mining town had ever seen.

But by Christmas, both his brothers had been struck down, and their assassins were coming after him and Doc Holliday. For Earp, a man of ambition and pride, it would mean putting aside his dream for one last fight...not for glory, but revenge.

Goodreads review by Alton on March 12, 2019

Fast-paced story about events leading up to the shootout at the OK Corral and the aftermath. Story line covers about a week and is in three parts: the immediate events prior to the shootout, the shootout itself, and 3-4 days thereafter. Non-stop action. Nothing deep; no psychological analysis about......more

(This is my first time writing a book review so apologies if it's all over the place.) I've always had a soft spot for movies set in the wild west. My first exposure to Wyatt earp was the movie Tombstone and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So when I saw this novel I thought I'd give it a go. What I got was a......more
