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)

Fantastic series that keeps you wanting more!

Drums of Autumn by far has the most moving parts in the series so far. Most of it is edge of your seat listening but still has the warmth I’ve come to love between the main characters. Can’t wait to start the next book!

Love, Love, Love

Author Diana Gabaldon is a genius. Her descriptive language brings the story to life and imprints it in my mind’s eye. I highly recommend the entire series of Outlander novels. I’m addicted to the STARZ Outlander series, the novels which I’ve read twice and now the Audible series. The reader is amazing. She even sings the songs in the novel!

LOVE IT

Fantastic! Another great narration and another great story. Now I'm off to listen to the next one.

Gabardine at her best!

This is my favorite of the Outlander Series. The characters truly come to life in the incredible circumstances they experience and I remain head over heels in love. Gabaldon’s sense of place, circumstance and subtle foreshadowing create a gripping story. And we learn so much more about the workings of the stones.
The performance of Davina Porter is masterful in bringing the story to life.

Inlove

That’s all there is to say. I love these books. With each one I get done with I’m sad but quite excited to get to the next one.

Riveting!

The scope and details in these books are phenomenal. I can't stop listening and love Porter's narration.

great series

so far I have watched the complete series and then started listening to the series, to experience both and how the tv series has so well complemented the books thus far.

Family is what we make it

great story of the Fraser family and the family that they make in the new America. Can't get enough of this wonderful series.

Get it. Honestly.

You won't regret it. Its incredible. I just hope she comes out with more as I am officially hooked. Great rendition of history. Great story. You feel like you are being taken by the hand by Claire and lead through her experience. And Davina, she is a goddess among mortals. There is no one else that can read this. There is no one else that can grip you in and sink you so deep. I love them both. Outlander noob, but totally hooked. It's a shame I didn't find it earlier, but I dont think I could have waited between volumes. Diana give me more!!!

Finally

Loved the opportunity to sit with character relationships this book on a calmer note for Jamie; Chaos for everyone else. I don’t know if I loved it the most due to the hours I’ve spent with the characters and wanting this new relationship with Jamie and Claire or if it could stand alone without the series. This book settled me with this series.
