'A remarkable first novel, full of verve, beautifully written, and with all the panache of a great adventure' Michael Ondaatje '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 savour the marvel of Gil Adamson's writingThis novel is a true wonder' Ann Patchett The Outlander is a superb novel and one senses in the fine writing the potential, or perhaps the eventuality, of a major writer. It 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
