Items related to The Buntline Special (A Weird West Tale)
Welcome to a West like you've never seen before, where electric lights shine down on the streets of Tombstone, while horseless stagecoaches carry passengers to and fro, and where death is no obstacle to The Thing That Was Once Johnny Ringo. Think you know the story of the O.K. Corral? Think again, as five-time Hugo winner Mike Resnick takes on his first steampunk western tale, and the West will never be the same.

From Booklist:
Tombstone, Arizona, 1881. Thomas Alva Edison, sent by the American government to devise a scientific way to combat the magic of the Apache, who have stalled U.S. expansion past the Mississippi, has been viciously attacked. Hired to protect him and to find out the identity of the attempted assassin are Wyatt Earp and his brothers. Earp reaches out to his old friend, Doc Holliday, and to gunslinger-turned-newspaperman Bat Masterson. Resnicks spirited retelling of the Gunfight at the OK Corral is, like Mark Hodders recent Burton & Swinburne in the Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack (2010), an imaginative and thrilling blend of historical fact and science fiction. In Resnicks version of the Wild West, science and magic are poised for a showdown. Real-life American publisher and dime novelist Ned Buntline constructs wondrous, futuristic devices out of brass. Tombstone is lit by Edisons electric lights. Gunfighter Johnny Ringo returns from the dead to join the Clanton brothers against the Earps. And Bat Mastersonwell, lets just say theres a good reason why hes called Bat. Sf veteran Resnicks skillful storytelling makes it difficult to separate real characters and events from his wild imaginings, and thats just part of the fun. --David Pitt
