Publisher's summary

The year is 1771. Claire Randall is still an outlander, out of place and out of time. But now she is linked by love to her only anchor: Jamie Fraser. They have crossed oceans and centuries to build a life together in North Carolina. But tensions, both ancient and recent, threaten members of their clan.

Knowing that his wife has the gift of prophecy, James must believe Claire, though he would prefer not to. Claire has shared a dreadful truth: there will, without a doubt, be a war. Her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through perilous years ahead - or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.

I love this series

I love the Outlander series but this is my least favorite book. It is a very long story but necessary to listen to if you are going for all the books. Although I’m not a fan of the book as a whole, the last couple of chapters were great!

What next?!?!?

I love the historical aspects of this book mixed with the daily life of a struggling immigrant family in rural North Carolina. The narrator has tremendous range and consistency with the voices from book to book. Listening to the next book already!

I loved it and miss it now that it is over.

I thought the book would be too long, but the story drew me in and I felt I knew the characters. I loved it and am sorry it is over.

Gabaldon does it again!

The continuing of the Outlander Series could have run its course with this book. Luckily, Diana Gabaldon wasn't ready to let her readers make up their own next adventures in Jamie & Claire's Saga. Davina Porter has been excellent in this book and others I have heard. An interested and interesting voice makes the books come alive.

Totally addictive- amazing talent

These books are marathons and totally worth every minute. Escapism at it's finest- gorgeous scenery, heart-breaking story lines, epic romance, sexy Scots in kilts-- the whole package. I have spent more time with Davina Porter than any family member as I fell happily in love with this series.
