Latest from the Library A to Z

THE OUTLANDER by Gil Adamson is the latest book I've read from the library. Great book, one that I avoided at the bookstore for some reason, but found to be a fantastic story. It started out to be a rather dark, stark tale, but "the widow" found out how to survive in the wilderness without a hint of that knowledge in her at the beginning. Her survival is what drives her and the story. What a wonderful adventure this is that involves a woman not a man. She never gives up no matter what and learns she is without a doubt a person of many strengths.

Back to the Library!

Just finished reading THE EXODUS QUEST  by Will Adams. It's entertaining in an Indiana Jones sort of way. Has a lot of archaelogical history as part of the story, which can be rather interesting or boring depending on your point of view. It was necessary for the story, but there was much too much. And the hero got banged around so much he probably should have been dead by the end of the book, but no walking around like nothing had ever happened. I enjoyed the book regardless.
