Audible Editor Reviews

Why we think it's Essential: Mix equal parts historic fiction, adventure, and romance. Add a dash of time travel. Blend with pitch-perfect narration. And you'll understand why Outlander is an all-time favorite among Audible listeners. Whether she's giving voice to the former World War II nurse Claire or the 18th Century Scottish warrior Jamie, Davina Porter brings a magical intimacy to this epic tale. ¿Steve Feldberg

Publisher's Summary

This stunning blend of historical romance and time traveling adventure has captured the hearts of millions of readers around the world and catapulted author Diana Gabaldon to the top of the New York Times best seller list. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love.

In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in an ancient stone ruin and is instantly transported to 1743 Scotland, a place torn by war and raiding border clans. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser?

Great Scot! Don't miss the complete Outlander series:
Outlander
Dragonfly in Amber
Voyager
Drums of Autumn
The Fiery Cross
A Breath of Snow and Ashes
An Echo in the Bone

Please note: Even though Recorded Books has produced unabridged editions of both The Fiery Cross and A Breath of Snow and Ashes, they do not have what's called "digital rights" for those recordings. That means they can sell them in CD format, but they cannot yet distribute them via digital services such as Audible and iTunes. The last time we checked with Diana's agent, his belief was that it could take until sometime next year to resolve the situation. It's wrapped up in contracts and such that have to be untangled. Unfortunately, that's out of our hands. But we keep pushing. Stay tuned!

What the Critics Say

"Davina Porter maintains the distinct voices she creates for each character throughout the lengthy narration. Her delivery of 18th-century language sounds authentic and is easily understandable." (Audiofile)

From AudioFile

Gabaldon's genre-crossing classic of romance, fantasy, and historical fiction tells the story of Jamie and Claire, lovers from different centuries caught in the bloodshed of the Scots' struggle to be free of the English. It achieves a new dimension in the audio format. Davina Porter maintains the distinct voices she creates for each character throughout the lengthy narration. Her delivery of eighteenth-century language sounds authentic and is easily understandable. The hot sex and graphic violence, integral to the story, are far more vivid on audio than they are on paper.

This book, like so many today, needed a good editor.

I am currently listening to the first 5 books in the series for the second time before I start the newest book in the series. I rarely listen to books more than once so it says a lot that I am doing so particularly when the books are 30-40 hours each!

I enjoy Diana Gabaldon's description of daily life. She paints a clear picture which draws me in. Davina Porter is my all time favorite narrator (well, Susan Erickson reading the "In Death" books by J..D. Robb/Nora Roberts is also my favorite.) Ms. Porter is perfect. All her characters are well done and come alive for me. I thoroughly believe there is a large male Scot in the room.

I try not to be exceptionally critical but wow... too much sex for me. Strangely enough, I didn't even feel the chemistry between the characters, it just felt like sex and more sex which quickly wore itself out. That said, it was well written and the narration was flawless.

This is the most awesome series of books I have ever read! The writing is absolutly outstanding. I have read the series multiple times, and each time I finish it I cant wait to read it again. I decided to listen to the audio version, and it brought these books to a whole other level. Davina Porter IS Claire Randall. Absolutely. Never has a narrator so captured the essence of a character. This is a must read/must listen, again and again!

I highly recommend this story. I had Outlander on my wishlist for months and never purchased it as the time travel aspect of the book did not appeal to me. When I finally purchased it and began listening, I couldn't stop. The story was riveting and I fell in love with the characters.
