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.

Addictive! I have read

I read everything Dian G writes. I love Claire's dedication to living Jamie and healing patients with tools honed in the 18th Century. Fascinating and addictive. Stress reducer.

This series is absolutely addicting!

I started with Outlander, I'm making my way through the series and I'll continue until the last book. This author has created a dynamic story filled with romance, action, adventure, and humor. I highly recommend them all!

An Echo in the Bone

Although I don't think this is quite up to the quality of the earlier books by this author, it is very good and I especially appreciated the narrator, who was able to do marvelous things with her voice, the rare weakness being in her attempts to take on children's voices. If I could give it 4.5 stars. I would.

Yep, it's good

So, if you're a Jamie & Claire fan and have made it all the way to this book (#7 in the series), you don't need to be told about the plot, the story, the writing ... you're hooked and you know it.

Davina Porter has narrated all the Outlander books, and does an amazing job. In fact, because of Davina, I've become a huge fan of the Outlander series. She made it accessible for me in a way the written pages just weren't. Jamie's Scottish burr, the Gaelic, the French, the Cockney ... all the accents that in true Gabaldon style are written as spoken are tedious for me on the page, but through Audible, these characters have truly come alive.

And, is it just me or is Gabaldon becoming better and better with each book? Her ability to write as each character -- to get inside their heads, the words they would use, their sentence structure -- really amazing. Now she just needs to finish the 8th book!

Another great read by Gabaldon and listen by Porte

I was a little apprehensive about downloading this book after the other reviews. I had previously listened to the first 3 books in audio format and read the the next two books. Ms. Gabaldon has not le me down yet. truly enjoyed this installment in the series. There were so many turns and twists it kept me on edge. There were a few parts that were a bit long, but it was well worth the listen. Davina Porter is a great narrator. Can't wait for the next book. By the way I thought that this was going to be the last, but way too much unfinished business if you ask me.

One of my favorites in the series!

Would you consider the audio edition of An Echo in the Bone to be better than the print version?

I have read and listened to the books in this series and yes, Davina Porter brings and extra life to the book that simply reading it does not have.

What did you like best about this story?

This book of the series began to tie in events and characters from earlier books of the series. It was very enjoyable to see how people tied together and events unraveled.

What about Davina Porter’s performance did you like?

She is AMAZING! Davina is by far the best narrator I have heard.
