review 1: If you like your western history straightforward and factual than this book is definitely not for you. But, if you are willing to suspend your beliefs and let your imagination take a rocketing stage coach ride, then this book is for you. No vampire Bat Masterson this time, but the native American magic making medicine men are back, stirring up trouble along with Billy the Kid who can't be killed, and of course Ned Buntline and Tom Edison creating lots of wild inventions. Now I have to go out and get the next book in this fun, funky, steam punky western saga!!!!!
review 2: I've read and loved Mike Resnick before-- this book, however, was terrible. The only things I enjoyed about it was the pictures that occurred every so many chapters and the 'steam-punk' feel.... more It had no pacing, horribly shallow characters that I didn't care about at all and was just filled with sentences and descriptions that added nothing to the story. I'm not sure why I finished it unless it was just to prove to myself that it was terrible the whole way through. less
