Tim Powers delivers again! This inimitable mash-up features Victorian poets, the world below the streets of London, ghosts in bottles, and refreshingly evil vampires, and, as always, it's a wild and unpredictable ride! The story seamlessly melds real-life historical people and occurrences with the magical, the paranormal, and the just plain bizarre. When you read a book by Powers, you never know exactly what to expect, but you know it's going to be great!

I was suprised when I started reading "Doc," I would have never thought of Russell writing a western novel. She portrays the richness of history and her characters through her flowing and descriptive prose. We get a realistic look into the life of John Henry "Doc" Halliday (and his friends and foes) before the famous showdown at the O.K. Corral. A very solid and satisfying story that I thoroughly enjoyed.
