I am disappointed that I read this in two days, meaning that now I am out of book.
This was a really enjoyable jaunt in fiction through a section of the post Civil War era. While it may not be up to Crichton's later works as far as science storytelling and descriptive details, it was still immensely enjoyable and I devoured it no differently than any of his other works. Focusing mostly on the Bone Wars that took place between two very interesting characters, I found the sprinkling of other notable personas of the Wild West to be extremely entertaining as well.
