Heather asked this question about Into the Wilderness (Wilderness, #1):
How does this compare to the Outlander books? I really loved the first two of that series but the 4th really turned me off. I stumbled across this by chance on here and am intrigued.
Pam I have enjoyed both series of books, and in my opinion neither deserve to be compared side by side, I understand that Donatii's reference to "Auntie C…moreI have enjoyed both series of books, and in my opinion neither deserve to be compared side by side, I understand that Donatii's reference to "Auntie Claire" was indeed blessed. I strongly feel Donati and Gabaldon both produced fine stories that stand alone with endearing characters and strong plots. They both have proven to me they have used exceptionally detailed and accurate research. I have been deeply satisfied by the minutia interwoven and examined in each of these books.

Haydee do give the Outlander books another look I do not think you will be disappointed ! However here are some others you might try...

FYI
Another series I have sampled are the books authored by the Gears "People of the ..." Lightening; Ice; Lakes, etc., all based on actual archeological findings. Which reminds me of yet another book of this ilk, the Source, by James Michner one of the first, fictional pre-historical stories I had ever read that piqued my interest in that genre, an exceptional read (I would recommend any and all of Michner books they are superb)

I also enjoyed and would recommend, another sweeping series of pre-history "Clan of the Cave Bear" the author did extensive research regarding locations, artifacts, flora and fauna. My favorites of that series were actually the three middle volumes, created by Jean Auel. I have read this series several times as the heroine in these books is inspiring, strong through great trials, disappointment and many challenges.

Happy reading, hope my views helped!(less)
