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.

Umm YES!

Davian Porter as a narrator is fantastic. Diana Gabaldon's words dance across the page and keep you interest. Love it!

Book 8 of the Outlander Series-An Echo in the Bone

This is the last book of the original Outlander series, however I see that there may be some companion books. This is a great story and the narrator does an excellent job. Highly recommended!

Never a disappointment!

Just like always never a disappointment. I fear I am getting so close to the end.

Loving it still!!

I want more of this great story!! I love the historical accuracy of so many details! I love the honor and integrity of the characters! I love the use of many historical sources within the story such as the Bible, Shakespeare, Socrates, and more!

Still Building!

I love this series, but this is probably my 3rd favorite of the books. Outlander is my 2nd and Written in My Own Hearts Blood (#8) is my favorite (so far!). The narration is outstanding and the story is really still building. I know it will have to end in the next book or two, as it should, but for a series as long as this one is, I’m happy to report that it is not slumping (although the beginning of Fiery Cross had me a bit worried, but it came up, too, as it got past “the gathering”).

I don't know what to say!

First off, if you are a fan of the Highlander series by DG than you already know but if you love the idea of going back in time and then forward again, then you will love this book. DG will tell you that you can pick any book in the series and it will stand alone and she is of course right but you can also get caught up in a story that will become one of your all time favorites! This a great story and has a bit of everything from tears to laugh out loud funny! Don't wait another second, you won't be disappointed!

My own person brand of crack...

I love this entire Outlander series. I am entirely relieved that there is an 8th book, though not a formal part of the series, per sey. Had the story actually ended here... I'm not sure how I would have felt about it. I enjoy the mix of history, suspense, family ties and the wondrous romance that is Jamie and Claire's.

can't believe it's almost over

I don't know what to do I'm so scared to move on to the next book because I know that that will be the end and I'm so upset these books and these characters are so well developed and so well written
