Jiles' book, The Color of Lightning, and am surprised at how much I didn't remember from my initial reading. There is the feel of Lonesome Dove in the time period and the setting, though the characters are totally different. I think I'm enjoying it much more this time around. It will be interesting to see what the author has dreamed up in her new book for the continuation of this story.

Putting Michael Crummey's The Wreckage on my list. Sounds like a good one. I remember the intensity of his writing in River Thieves.
