Synopsis

Steampunk wild west stars Doc Holliday, with zombies, dinosaurs, robots, and cowboys. April, 1885 Leadville, Colorado. Near death, Doc Holliday coughs blood in a sanitarium bed. But supernatural medicine man and great chief Geronimo offers one year of restored health to stop renegade Comanche medicine men from reincarnating dinosaurs against American paleontology, spearheaded by two brilliant men, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, whose genius is only exceeded by their hatred for each other. Now, with the aid of energetic Theodore Roosevelt, gunslinger Cole Younger, and showy Buffalo Bill Cody, dying Doc Holliday must save Cope and Marsh from Comanches, living dinosaurs, and each other. Not an easy task.
