Overview

In Indian Territory, a wild assortment of fictional and historical characters clash in an endless battle for supremacy. The last untamed frontier in America has become a haven for the lawless, and lethal for the peace officers patrolling it. The sole court of jurisdiction is in Fort Smith, where Judge Isaac Parker is fighting to retain his absolute rule. His mortal enemy, the notorious Bob Crail, has been captured and the Judge sends top deputy Del Loveless to bring him in. But the insidious outlaw escapes transport, and Deputy Loveless will undergo disasters natural and unnatural in his efforts to recapture him. In the vast prairie wilderness west of Fort Smith, signs of God are scarce, but the harrowing forces at work are biblical in scope - prairie wildfires, tornados, floods, and an electrifying reversal that tears Del Loveless from all he reveres, threatening to consume him.

Reviews

Outrider is a sweeping narrative of the formation of the West, filtered through the lens of good and evil, love and betrayal, greed and generosity, death and renewal. The razor-sharp writing matches the lean and violent times - flinty dialog, keenly observed authenticity, and passages of breathtaking lyricism. Monumental in scope, Outrider depicts the clash of right and wrong and raises questions about which will hold sway - then, when the country was being forged, and a century and a half later as it shape-shifts to whatever it will become. Gemma Whelan, Painting Through the Dark
