It's hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean, and a hundred times too big to be a ship. It looks like nothing anyone ever saw. And it's crashed just outside Tombstone with something alive inside.
"Bear is an author you can count on to deliver the good read. This one shows a serious interest in the Doc Holliday character, about whom more has been written than known. I like Bear’s take on him, particularly the way he picks up on the time travel bit. This isn’t your usual pulp Doc."--Locus

This story was an interesting mix. On one hand the setting was very well rendered, and the concept was unique. On the other hand, I found the storytelling disjointed and the characters confusing. It felt as though I missed several pages that should have been at the beginning, and then I wanted more at the end.Product details

Adventures can be found everywhere.
This wasn’t like any western I’ve ever read before. The thought of mixing cowboys with space aliens made me grin. I was curious to see how these genres would merge together, and I was pleased with how the author found ways to show just how bizarre the idea of a flying ship from a faraway planet would be to the average person who lived in the nineteenth century and knew almost nothing about science.
I found the storyline hard to follow. While I knew going in that it wasn’t going to be told in a chronological order, there weren’t enough hints about when all of the scenes took place for me to keep them straight in my mind. Remembering which scene was supposed to first made it difficult for me to enjoy the plot in general. I kept mixing up the order of events, and that made the reading process a frustrating one.
The characters were interesting. I liked the fact that the descriptions of them were so vivid and detailed. It made it easy to remember who everyone was and how they knew one another no matter if they were the protagonist or someone who only appeared in the plot a handful of times. Reading the narrator’s descriptions of the people who crossed his path was also a fun way to get to know his personality and values based on what he did and didn’t like about the folks around him.
Faster Gun should be read by anyone who has ever wished there were more aliens and spaceships in the wild west of the 1800s.

This book really hooked me. The BEar LAdy needs to turn this great short story into a full novel. Super book!!!
Interesting concept - I would like to see it expanded, fleshed out more. Maybe bring in another historical character or 2 (Wyatt Earp?) with some more explanation about the aliens, possibly a stronger resolution.
Short fiction especially science fiction is often about the concept and not the characters. This is an interesting mash up of time travel and alternative history and appears as a set up for the author to play with some fabulous figures from the past. She has a ball and the story is enjoyable. It was good enough that I was interested in seeing it being fleshed out into something more.
Elizabeth Bear can always be depended upon to write a fine tale, but you never know know what her back drop is going to be. This time, she has concocted a delicious tale from three relatively stale staples of SF. Any two of them would have been a challenge to the author, but all three? Ms. Bear is not only up to the task of keeping all three elements in play, but gives it a dash of her literary genius to pull off another great read.
