It is the winter of 1879, and Dodge city has lost its snap. Thirty-one-year-old Wyatt Earp, assistant city marshal, loads his wife and all they own into a wagon, and goes with two of his brothers and their women to Tombstone, Arizona, land of the silver mines. There Earp becomes deputy sheriff, meeting up with the likes of Doc Holliday, Clay Allison and Bat Masterson as well as finding the love of his life, showgirl Josie Marcus. While navigating the constantly shifting alliances of a largely lawless territory, Earp finds himself embroiled in a simmering feud with Johnny Behan, which ultimately erupts in deadly gunfire on a dusty street corner.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I thoroughly enjoyed the snippets of parallel history that Parker inserts periodically and, because I'm a history buff, I considered that, because I was learning new and interesting historical connections, it was time well spent. I also liked the fact that Parker's characterization of Wyatt Earp dovetailed with his descriptions of Virgil Cole in his other western series. Unfortunately he peopled this story with rather colorless characters, unlike Pony Flores, Hitch, Allie and Laurel who made the Cole series crackle with life.Would you recommend Gunman's Rhapsody to your friends? Why or why not?
I might recommend this book to people who enjoy history, especially western history, because I know that Parker researched the Earp history carefully. I wouldn't recommend it based on a compelling narrative or spine-tingling action.What three words best describe Ed Begley Jr.’s voice?
Unemotional, flat, mediocreIf this book were a movie would you go see it?
Perhaps, but the movie has already been made with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer.....with variations to the story. The movie script was more compelling than this story.My least favorite Parker novel

Not for me I don't have time to read and believe Ed Begley Jr. does a much better job bringing to life the charactersWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Gunman's Rhapsody?
When Wyatt crossed the line and murdered one of his brothers killersWhat does Ed Begley Jr. bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Without a doubt Mr. Begley is a reader in the highest class and his works have always been very professionalWho was the most memorable character of Gunman's Rhapsody and why?
Doc Holiday, truely a man who has strong convictions and nothing to lose, he knows he is dying and just doesn't really give a crapAny additional comments?
