Customer Reviews

Coyote Summer

The best book I've read all year, and i am an avid reader..The quality of the writing and research,along with the unforgettable characters makes this book impossible to put down..I enjoyed the prequel The Morning River, but this was even better..I think Richard, and Willow still have another story to tell....PLEASE//

Give us this Day

I don't know when a book has enthralled me more. I came away challenged to understand my surroundings and those folks around us. Historically Coyote Summer is with out peers. Please Micheal continue this story.

Great adventure

I bought this for my father for Christmas and he absolutely loved the book. He has read the Jean Auel series several times over and loves it. He has read all of the "People of..." series by Michael and Kathleen and absolutely liked those. Hands down he said this was perhaps the best book he has ever read in his 73 years. For as many times as he has read and loved the Jean Auel series that is saying a lot.

Sad it ended!

Yes, the writing could have been better crafted but the story was so engrossing and the character's hearts so bared. I wish i hadn't read this book yet so I could experience it again!

entrapping and enthralling sequel

W.Michael Gear has written a wonderful series of Morning River and Coyote Summer. I read River and couldn't wait for the sequel. Gear's character development is is a model for study. Humor abounds as well as deep concern for Richard and Willow which makes for excellent plot development All in all it is a fun, exciting, and well paced story of early west in full color and surround sound. Don't miss it.
