Wish I could give this more than 5 stars

The fourth book featuring Clay Cole: The Rainmaker. The Indian Territory was a wild, lawless place, a place not many white men dared enter - unless they had a reason. Clay Cole had a very good reason. He wanted to avoid the law. Cole had a price on his head and bounty hunters on his trail, so he thought it best to keep out of sight. But his plans all changed when he tries to save someone's life. When the smoke clears he had a Nez Perce baby on his hands, and an obligation born of guilt and honour to find the infant's people. That meant travel and lots of it - travel through some very dangerous territory... This is a story that will lift and tear at your emotions as you read the engaging bonding between Cole and the Nez Perce infant, share the ups and downs of Cole's guilt at how he came to be saddled with the child. Share his sense of loss when the youngster goes missing and his elation at finding her again. All the above mixed in with the threat of death as the bounty hunters close in, as the truth about who, and what Cole has done, becomes known to the vividly drawn characters that fill this book. If the ending of this beautifully written book doesn't bring a lump to your throat, for more than one reason, then you just aint human! Definately Tim McGuire's best work to date. Very highly recommended!

OUTCASTS IS A WESTERN MASTERPIECE!

Outcasts is a masterpiece from Tim McGuire. Another classic Clay Cole western, brimming with heart and heartbreak. Cole is asked to take an orphan Indian baby girl home to her native lands. Always on the run for a crime he didn't commit, Cole is a man of valor and honor, a decent and kind person, with all the odds stacked against him. His love for the baby is heartwarming and touching. He runs into racism and bounty hunters, but he perseveres. Not every day I read a book with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. McGuire is a great writer and I feel he should win the Spur award for Outcasts. Bravo!
