A sci-fi/western novel...
Thursday, August 18, 2005 4:07 AM
I'm reading a book right now that deals with humanity's first encounter with aliens... in Arizona, in 1881. It has stagecoaches, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, gunslingers and stagecoaches. It also has alien beings, advanced space humans, all kinds of cool sci-fi stuff.Reading it reminds me a lot of Firefly, but the western stars - Earp and Holliday and the Clantons - don't know about the aliens.
If anyone's interested, the book is "Frontier Earth" by Bruce Boxleitner (yes, Captain John "Scarecrow" Sheridan from Babylon 5...) and it's available at Amazon.com for thirty-seven cents. A NEW copy is thity-seven cents.
Just thought I'd point it out to the cool peeps here *G*

He actually can! It starts a little slow... I read the first chapter and put it down for about a week before starting up again. But once it gets going... ;-D
The way I see it, any actor can make a CD with little expense. But to write a book takes hours and weeks and months of work, plus the publisher had to LIKE IT enough to put it out. Then he had to do it AGAIN with the sequel...
The only thing that reminds you it was written by a famous celebrity is that the back cover is a shot of him on the B5 Control and Command, wearing his uniform. :D
