    I have not. This was the first book directly related to the Earps/Tombstone I have read. I’ll add them to my to read list. I just started a book on Frank Hamer and then have a Stephen Hunter lined up next.

    Did you also read his "Dodge City"?

    Not yet. It’s on the list now. I saw Tombstone at Sams is the only reason I found it.

    I just finished "And Die in the West". https://www.amazon.com/Die-West-K-Co...7441983&sr=8-7

    The dirty politics was unreal. Much like today. Democrats and Republicans fighting and dealing dirty tricks.

    Go to Amazon and read the prologue to Epitaph. That alone is pretty awesome.

    The British Military Quartet: Let Not The Deep, King’s Shilling, Long Reach and Congo Blue. Kindle Edition by Mike Lunnon-Wood This kindle set popped up on the recommendations after I placed an order and kind of caught my eye. I started reading the first book and so far am liking it a lot. It's a little sad that the author died from cancer a few years back.

    Marcus Wynne's books

    So I started by reading Neural Based Training which has a lot of interesting material about training using visualization-which he goes into greater detail than anyone else I've ever read-kinesthetic awareness and State Access. This last I found very interesting. It uses emotional arousal that is proper to the situation, like B.A.R. in gunfights to achieve control of those states and to inoculate you against the stressors. Also some interesting stuff learned from rehabbing stroke patients that he uses to make quicker changes to long held techniques.E.g, changing from a crush grip to the thumbs forward grip.

    I'll definitely get the next in the series.

    I've also blown through the Salt series and am now reading the Wylde trilogy.

    I read his earlier stuff about 20 years ago-I particularly liked Warrior in the Shadows about an SAS Tiptoe lad who was also an Australian Aborigine Shaman.

    Quite creepy.

    I just finished "Ink and Sigil".

    https://www.amazon.com/Ink-Sigil-wor...dp/1984821253/

    Pretty good, though clearly anti-Trump leanings. Favorite character a funny little Hobgoblin with a Scottish accent.
