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.

Another great collaboratoin for Gabaldon & Porter

Once this Outlander series begins, you can't step away. Davina Porter is brilliant as a narrator of so many voices and brogues. Amazing. Definitely 5 stars!

Loved the book!!

Diana Gabaldon is a master at weaving a story, especially as she weaves it so tightly over her many book series! It must be mentioned that Davina Porter is much more than a narrator, she is an absolutely amazing voice actress. As soon as she begins reading a character’s lines, you know exactly who’s speaking. Her male characters are as varied & delightful as her female characters!!! I can’t wait to dive into book 6.

I can't get enough

What did you love best about The Fiery Cross?

Roger clawing his way back from death

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like them all for different reasons, but if I must choose, it would have to be Clair.

What does Davina Porter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Davina Porter sets the book on fire, her narration is quite enchanting. Davina makes me forget that it is she who does all the voices.

Any additional comments?

I dont want the story to ever end...

addicting story

this book was very well written and the storyline is addictive and you just want to hear more. The person who narrates this is amazing with her ability to capture each and every character along with their individual accents and emotions. I highly recommend this series

I'm going to hate to see it end!

This has been an outstanding journey with these characters! I don't know what I am going to do when I get to the end! Diana Gabaldon's writing is unbelievable and I could listen to Davina Porter all day long! She is a one woman show! These people have become very dear to my heart! Do yourself a favor and get going with this series!

Not as well written as the others :(

I have enjoyed all of the books in this series so far, although i did enjoy this tale, I found it to be poorly written in comparison to the earlier books.
