The Man Before the Gun: Doc Holliday (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257756269)

A man can choose his path.
But not always the cost of walking it.

John Holliday was meant to become a doctor. A man of discipline, precision, and quiet purpose. But when illness takes hold and time begins to slip from his grasp, the life he planned no longer holds.

Drawn west in search of something more-more time, more meaning, more truth-he finds himself in a world that does not wait for men to decide who they are. In the dust and heat of a growing Texas town, he learns that survival is not given. It is chosen.

At the card table, he learns to read men.
On the street, he learns the weight of a single decision.
And somewhere between the mind and the moment, he becomes something the world will not forget.

Guided by unexpected voices-a quiet woman on a train, a teacher of strategy, and a soul who sees him clearly-John begins to understand that life is not about the path he was meant to take, but the one he is willing to walk.
