The Color of Lightning: A Novel | 
pickThis was a solid book…another historical fiction title by Jiles, this one based on true events and characters. The only thing lacking for me,was that I was hoping for more of a balance between the opinions and viewpoints of the expansionist settlers and the Native Americans. 4/5
Ebook on sale today. I loved News of the World so I snatched this one right up
pickI really loved this well researched western. It tells about a black man whose family is captured by Kiowa in Texas after the civil war. The various points of view are well represented especially the native perspective. If you liked News of the World this is similar and has some crossover.
"The women heard them coming. It was unmistakable. The roar of more than a hundred horses at full gallop. There was no other sound like it in the world."
Everything else in the book follows from this brief scene.
