Publisher's summary

Diana Gabaldon's fans will be delighted to find Jamie and Claire as spirited and endearing as ever in this fourth installment of this magnificent saga. Romance, history, and time travel blend once again as the couple builds a new life together in the wilderness of pre-Revolutionary America.

Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century. The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The second time, 20 years later, she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history.

Davina Porter's narrative talent adds a special vibrance and resonance to Gabaldon's complex, colorful characters.

Critic reviews

"Gabaldon's range is impressive, whether she's evoking the rawness of colonial America, the cozy clutter of a modern Scottish parsonage, the lusts of the body or the yearnings of the spirit. Her legion of fans will love diving into this ocean of romance." ( Publishers Weekly)

Narrator was excellent!

She has to be the best narrator that I have ever heard. The story was very intriguing as well.

Holy Adventure Batman

Audio as fabulous as always. Her ability to pull off the accents & maleness is incredible. Loved listening as much as reading. Lots of action. I wish that I could have protected Bri, Roger & Ian more.

Love these audiobooks

I thought by now, 4 books into the Outlander series, that I would be sick of it. I also thought I would not enjoy the audiobooks. Well, I loved book 4. Very much actually. And I love the audiobooks. Davinia Porter does a fabulous job.

These books are loaded with drama and at times I do find some of it irksome. What could've been resolved with a simple discussion becomes a full blown nightmare because 2 people had to make each other wrong. But that is how life is more often than not and that's how this story goes.

So, now I will move onto Book 5, The Fiery Cross....
