Publisher's summary

Diana Gabaldon's immensely popular Outlander saga soars to new heights with this seventh novel, which takes listeners on a breathtaking journey to 1777 America.

Jamie Fraser knows from his time-traveling wife Claire that, no matter how unlikely it seems, America will win the Revolutionary War. But that truth offers little solace, since Jamie realizes he might find himself pointing a weapon directly at his own son - a young officer in the British army.

And Jamie isn't the only one with a tormented soul - for Claire may know who wins the conflict, but she certainly doesn't know whether or not her beloved Jamie survives.

Epic in scope and featuring a colorful cast that includes many legendary figures - including hero-turned-traitor Benedict Arnold and bawdy statesman Benjamin Franklin - An Echo in the Bone is a thrill from start to finish.

Glad to have another

I always enjoy Ms. Gabaldon's verse. Although at times a bit too much detail I still enjoy the plots and story lines...

Loved it, again

This is the second time I've read it and still love it; one of my favorite series. Davina Porter is the best and brings the characters to life way beyond reading it in print.

Terrific Storyline

Where does An Echo in the Bone rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

At the top with all the Diana Gabaldon Outlander series.

What did you like best about this story?

The continuity in the story line from one book to the next is fascinating. Characters are well developed and narration is fantastic. I like the blend of history and fiction with suspense and intrigue

Have you listened to any of Davina Porter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Davina Porter's rich accent and unique narration for each character brings them to life. I can hear her voice in my mind even when I'm reading and not listening to the audible portion.
