“The Outlander deserves to be read twice, first for the plot and the complex characters which make this a page-turner of the highest order, and then a second time, slowly, to savor the marvel of Gil Adamson’s writing. This novel is a true wonder.” —Ann Patchett
“A remarkable first novel, full of verve, beautifully written, and with all the panache of a great adventure.” –Michael Ondaatje
“Gil Adamson’s The Outlander is, simply enough, a superb novel and one senses in the fine writing the potential or perhaps the eventuality, of a major writer. The frayed material of the North American west is rendered in an astoundingly fresh light. The Outlander is also suspenseful to a degree that you are often in a state of physical unrest, a condition only occasioned by first rate fiction.” –Jim Harrison
“This remarkable novel opens at full gallop and never slows. Adamson has seamlessly merged a compelling narrative with poetic language to create a work that is full of beauty and heart and wonder.” –Ron Rash
“Within the element of nature, comes an independent soul of feminine spirit, mythic in proportion, human in element; a first novel of enduring writing and of the finest pleasure reading.” –John Evans
