About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon has earned a massive and devoted following for her Outlander series. Now Lord John's fascinating story continues.

It is 1758, and the flames of the Seven Years' War are burning hotter than ever. The rigors and dangers of battle are actually a welcome respite for Lord John and his brother Hal, who feel the constant strain of their family's troubled history. Blending war, family secrets, and forbidden love, Gabaldon crafts a suspenseful novel that loyal fans and newcomers alike with find irresistible.

There’s also a who's who of supporting characters of importance, and a description of the main clans at the end. Heads up: If you haven't yet listened to the books or seen the show, this post might contain spoilers.

For fans of the Outlander series, the Lord John stories are a departure. However, Gabaldon writes with as much richness and development of principal characters in the Lord John stories as she does in the Outlander series. My only caveat is that the secondary characters in the Lord John series are, for the most part, not as richly developed as in Outlander. In this story in particular, I rather dislike having the villain dropped into the story at the very end as a bit of a throwaway, and with bare motive and character development.
The narrator does a fine job switching roles, although does play the female characters a bit like an over-the-top Hermione Gingold.

Entertaining with limitations.

Enjoyable

although I am a Diana Gabaldon fan true as they come, and Lord John stories are among my favorite, this one is not. There is a lot of background information that fits into the big books. There is a little more sexually explicit content in this book that does not interest me.

Miss Gabaldon always rights an engaging story

Love Diana's books. The Lord John books and the other short books delve deeper into things learned in the Outlander series. I just love all of the aha discoveries. She has lots to bring together in the 9th Outlander book and I can't wait!

Fills in some blanks

I can listen to this story over and over. Diana Gabaldon is brilliant and Jeff Woodman is the perfect Lord John, and well as having distinct voices for the other characters. Well done!

Jeff Woodman is the perfect Lord John!
