Thom reviewed Doc by Mary Doria Russell
Review of 'Doc' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Having read two of Mary Doria Russell's previous books, both science fiction, I approached this with caution. My previous knowledge of Doc Holiday was at best a caricature.
This book focuses on Doc's life in Dodge City, but touches on everything before and after. Plenty of spotlight is also shone on Wyatt Earp, which is perhaps why the author decided to write a sequel of sorts that focused on him and the famous OK Corral. These and other characters are complex and well fleshed out.
Have read three of Mary Doria Russell's books, encountering Jesuits three times. Is there a pattern here? I may have to read another just to find out.
