About this audiobook
Doc Holiday
Matt Braun
He came from the American South, a gentleman by breeding, a dentist by training, a gambler by vocation. But as Dr. John H. Holliday, a man fleeing his tragic past, drifted across the West, living among some of the roughest men on the frontier, word spread quickly he never walked away from a fight, and he never drew too late.
Now, from Dodge City to Denver and Cheyenne, from boomtown to sinkholes, "Doc" Holliday was driven by the demons of his past, a skilled gambler and a seasoned mankiller--his name was known and feared long before the O.K. Corral. The story of a man who spoke softly and carried a lightning gun, Doc Holliday is Matt Braun's extraordinary chronicle of the West's most complex and legendary figure.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Matt Braun excels in this novel. The fictional biography feels real and implements many elements of truth(not without elaboration I imagine). Exciting and fast paced, you grow to really admire and possibly even idolize Doc Holliday as the story progresses. It would make for one hell of a western movie.
