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.

Very good, with one gap between the Dr stirry..

Why would he leave his medical tools and note book behind when he went to to River Run. Claire obtained it in a different place far away.

Another Strong Performance

Where does The Fiery Cross rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I am listening to the entire Outlander Series. The Fiery Cross does not disappoint. Some of the events become predictable but I think that is a function of listening to them all in order. Davina Porter does a fantastic job narrating and overall The Fiery Cross is a worthwhile listen.

Excellence in story telling

An absolute gem of narrative skill. For people who love to read Diana Gabaldon works, The Fiery Cross, is by far one of her best written submissions. I have listened to all of Davina Porter's narration and it is truly amazing to me how she manages to encapsulate all the characters voices throughout this excellent series. Great acting. A work of art upon a work of art. My favorite way of listening to these stories is to read them together with the books at the same time for the ultimate experience.

Least favorite of the series so far

Loved how the story ended, and excited for what comes next. But, omg, did the author take a long, boring road to get there. If not for loving the characters and overall storyline, I'm not sure how I'd feel about the book.

Love, love, love the narration, tho. :-)
