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.

LOVE THIS SERIES!

If you could sum up The Fiery Cross in three words, what would they be?

Exciting. Twisty. Fantastic.
I could not just leave it at 3 words, as there are so many wonderful things to say. I absolutely love this series! I started by reading the first 3 books, but found that with the length of them, and my thirst for more.... the audio-book was the way to go, so I am able to listen while walking, working and driving. The story line never seems to waiver, it is always full of intrigue and suspense. The characters are easy to fall in love with, leaving me longing to follow their stories.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I have more than one favorite character -- I would have to say I always love Claire; strong in her convictions, and everything she does. Fearless and always interesting. Jenni is also one of my favorites, although not featured as much in this book as others.

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

This is the 2nd book I have listened to by Davina Porter. I enjoy her voice, her tone. She is easy to understand, and transitions between characters flawlessly. There is always distinction in when she switches between characters; deeper voice for males, etc. Pleasant to listen to hours on end.
