Review:
"Few writers can summon forth the agonies and joys of the rites of passage as poignantly as Douglas C. Jones, who in Roman counterbalances that highly personal experience with a broader one of the coming-of-age of the American West...as always, Jones's vision is as singular as a thumbprint."--Loren D. Estleman
"A master craftsman."--The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Our finest prose dramatist of the American West."--The Boston Globe
"Jones is the brightest light to appear on the Western horizon." -- The Dallas Morning News

Douglas C. Jones is one the great novelists of the American West, and Roman is one of his finest works a hugely entertaining story with unforgettable characters. This beautifully written tale of the rise of plucky young Roman Hasford, and his adventures on the frontier (including a vividly rendered Battle of Beecher s Island), makes for an immensely charming and satisfying saga. I was sorry to see it end. James Donovan, Author of "A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn"
Jones is not a bright new voice in Western fiction. Instead, his might be called a rich, seasoned tone, mastered through a series of increasingly impressive novels. "The Dallas Morning News"
