The Fiery Cross

Outlander, Book 5

De: Diana Gabaldon

Narrado por: Davina Porter

Diana Gabaldon is the New York Times bestselling author of Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn. A masterful novel of passion and a love spanning centuries, The Fiery Cross is the highly anticipated, triumphant continuation of the phenomenally popular Outlander series.

Eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his 20th-century time-travelling wife, Claire Randall, have emigrated to the beautiful countryside of the Royal Colony of North Carolina. The year is now 1771, and dissidents are stirring throughout the American colonies. Claire forewarns James of the impending war and the dangers it may bring to their clan. Will her knowledge of America’s tumultuous revolution be enough to guide them through a dangerously uncertain future?

Finally it's here!

This has been a long time coming. For me, it's been 3 years of requesting this at least once a week. Fantastic series with a fantastic reader. Now I can finish the series and see what happens to all the characters. Thank you audible for making this available.
For new readers, I strongly recommend starting with Outlander and working your way forward. What I love about these books is that they don't fit into any specific genre. There's romance, bloodshed, betrayal, time travel, Etc., but please don't let the fact that this is a bit of a science fiction read discourage you from trying it out because there's so much more to this series. I mean, who can resist a scottish warrior.:) I myself finished Outlander in 2 weeks, and that was during my Freshman year of college, and it happened to be the end of the semester.
As I've said, these books are very different which is hard to find these days. Davina Porter is an AMAZING narrator also. Like I say, start with Outlander if you are new to this series and don't let the fact that this book is list in the sci-fi category discourage you from at least trying it.

Spoiler Alert

*Delightful Sigh*

I am really enjoying this series. However, I’m still not sure about Roger. He seems to have become a man in this book, but I still have warning bells about him.
I must also admit, that I’m still a bit disappointed that Jamie became a Free Mason.
But I was so happy about Ian coming back. I am looking forward to hearing more of his story.
And lastly, I am able to roll my tongue!!!!

The Fiery Cross

Some years ago I read the first two books of series in paperback. I have only lately had occasion to continue but have listened to two (this one just finished) out of order, not realizing the order. The ongoing saga is so compelling, I am going back to listen from the start, hoping to fill in the gaps of my understanding of events.

Young readers note: the narration is graphic, intimate, and includes some language.

I give the book's story, the narrator's performance, and overall, each 5 stars and recommend the Outlander Series to readers of historical, romance, mystery, and fantasy novels. Read, listen, enjoy.

Superb

Although there are some slow points. overall am excellent read. Davina Porter is the best narrator in my opinion out of all the audible books I've listened to. She truly opens the imagination so it's so much better than watching on a television screen!

Diana Gabaldon always delivers

This series is one of my favorites, and this is the first time I have had a chance to listen to the audio version. The reader does a fantastic job with the different voices, cute sounds, and proper intonations to give the reader a clear picture of what is happening.

Facinating in depth look at history and editing

Love all the history and the enduring passionate romances with a time traveler twist
This book is real page turner As they find them selves I. Predicimenti after predict ament. What do you do when your wife is raped in the 18th century?

Great continuation of a wonderful story!

Would you listen to The Fiery Cross again? Why?

I'm already on my second go round. Great story. I laugh and I cry. Davina Porter lends a wonderful bit of extra to this already great story.

What about Davina Porter’s performance did you like?

I love everything about Davins Porter's reading of this story. She adds so much feeling and I love that she can pronounce everything!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Several moments moved me. One of my favorite things about books is that your imagination can just run wild. I have laughed so hard that I have attracted unintended attention and cried so hard that I have had to move to a private location.
Wonderful story. I really want to love and be loved as the stars of this story do and are.

Any additional comments?

Read it, read it, read it! It's worth every single minute.
