Wow!
+ Discover the wilderness as you discover a good series + VERY GOOD BOOK
If you saw me on the street you wouldn't think of me as a fan of westerns. A 14 year old wearing a Bush t-shirt is not the type of kid that even usually likes to pick up a book. But David Thompson is one of the most captivating writers I have ever had the opportunity to read. My grandfather let me ...

Ballantine Books, 2003
Among the finest historical novels I've read.
+ Good book, but could do without the PC + Sign-Talker: A Trip Back in Time
This was one of the most captivating adventures I've read about in a long time. I'm a slow reader, and enjoy savoring the details of a good book, but still surprised myself as I finished this in (for me) record time. J. A. Thom's intensely sensitive portrayal of the conflicted and insightful soul ...
