This was a fun book, I definitely want to see where this goes next. I don't know a lot about the exploration of Lewis and Clark, but I really hope they were like the characters in this book. Lewis is the nerdy, almost innocent scientist while Clark is the gungho soldier there to ensure his buddy doesn't get himself killed.

There wasn't as much obvious correlations to white men conquering the Native Americans as I was expecting, unless you count the main threat. There are some interesting hints at the dynamic of the day, such as the dismissive tone used towards women and the natives as well as the casual disregard Clark shows for his slave York.

Obviously with a title like "Manifest Destiny" there's going to be some subtle and not so subtle commentary going on.

The art is great, at times it reminds me of Tony Moore. It totally suits these characters and the setting. I haven't heard much about this series so I really hope it wasn't cancelled after one book.
