Opis

When Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday meet Nate Turner on their way to Prescott in the Arizona territories, it's only the beginning of a very wild ride. The year is 1879 . . . or is it? What Earp and Holliday discover isn't at all what they expected. It's much worse. Guns are everywhere and so is violence. Everything they knew about keeping the law and decent behavior is challenged by one experience after another. How they-and we-cope with the strange reality that confronts them is an open question, one that begs for solutions. So saddle up, and get ready to ride This novel puts gun violence into a historical perspective by combining real facts with real characters from history, characters who in their own time and locations confronted similar challenges to those of ours in the 21st century. Intended to provoke thought and stir the reader to action, this book can be read on many levels. It can be approached as a science fiction work, with time travel at its core. It can be treated as a historical review of a period in the U.S. when people were learning how to co-exist in a sometimes very hostile environment. Or, it can be just a good read. It is entertainment, after all, but with a twist. The problem it addresses is all too real, as the persons to whom it is dedicated can testify in shocking detail. In the end, it's up to all of us in the United States to decide what kind of people we want to be and how we want to treat others, and be treated by them.
