Tombstone (Luke Starbuck #3)
I'm a huge fan of historical fictions that surround Tombstone, Arizona in the late 1800s. I'm a big fan of Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, and the gang. I love their story and the history of that era. This book uses the facts of the case and takes liberties with the rest (most of the good stories do) and I can appreciate that. It's a different take on the tale, for sure, but one I enjoyed. Recommended for fans of westerns or Tombstone tales.
A good detective story, a likeable, flawed hero, but oh the profanity. This book would be about half the size if all the profanity were taken out! Probably won't read any more of his due to this, a shame.
Matt Braun is an author of fifty-six books, most of which are in the Western genre and has over 40 million copies in print.A good detective story, a likeable, flawed hero, but oh the profanity. This book would be about half the size if all the profanity were taken out! Probably won't read any more of his due to this, a shame.
I like the character Luke Starbuck. It is interesting to see how he interacts with famous characters of the Old West. Surely there are liberties taken in the story telling, but I found it to be a total joy and a quick read.

Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Tombstone (Luke Starbuck #3)
In 1878, a struggling prospector found silver in the jagged mountains of Arizona. Within a year the town of Tombstone was filling up with merchants, tradesmen, gamblers, whores, and gunslingers. And then the Earp family came to Tombstone-five brothers with their women and their wives. Along with Doc Holliday and a band of thieves, Wyatt Earp treated the Arizona territory as his personal stomping grounds-until Wells Fargo decided to put an end to a string of savage stage robberies. With the legend of the OK Corral shootout fanning out across the frontier, private detective Luke Starbuck was sent to Tombstone to find the truth. And when he got there, Starbuck's mission turned into one burning, personal obsession: to kill Wyatt Earp....AUTHORBIO: MATT BRAUN is a fourth generation Westerner, steeped in the tradition and lore of the frontier era. His books reflect a heritage rich with the truths of that bygone time. Raised among the Cherokee and Osage tribes, Braun learned their traditions and culture, and their philosophy became the foundation of his own beliefs. Like his ancestors, he has spent most of his life wandering the mountains and plains of the West. His heritage and his contribution to Western literature resulted in his appointment by the Governor of Oklahoma as a Territorial Marshal.Braun is the author of forty-three novels and four nonfiction works, including BLACK FOX, which was made into a CBS miniseries. Western Writers of America awarded Braun the prestigious Spur Award for his novel THE KINCAIDS.List Books Toward Tombstone (Luke Starbuck #3)
