The story is interesting and in parts very intense -- and then it tries to become mythical, and then our main character knows way too much. I also think the book could have used a better editor to catch the repetitious descriptions of the jungle, Saigon, and some of the characters.

For anyone who like the story of the OK Corral and Dodge city, here is a tale about one of the most intriguing players Doc Holiday

Yes, I find Doc Holiday to be very intriguing, and this book caught my eye in the strangest of places...the grocery store.

Its a good story, most likely filled with some of Doc's story that you hadn't heard before.

It may not be 100% faithful to the texts as extant, but Eickhoff really makes the story live. I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the collection.

ETA: You know, I really was enjoying this until the end of the Children of Turenn, when Eickhoff hauled out the Greek Comparison Trope and I lost faith in it. Oh, well.

This novel of a retired PIRA gunman being brought back to hunt down drug traffickers starts off well. It ends poorly, losing momentum and its way. The first two thirds are a pretty good read and Fallon is an interesting character. It's worth a single read, and makes me wonder what Eickhoff's other writing is like.
