NOW THE STARZ ORIGINAL SERIES OUTLANDER • With her now-classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters—Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser—delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful follow-up to Outlander.For twenty years, Claire Randall has kept her … twenty years, Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the mysteries of Scotland’s mist-shrouded Highlands.
Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as shocking as the events that gave it birth: the secret of an ancient circle of standing stones, the secret of a love that transcends centuries, and the truth of a man named Jamie Fraser—a Highland warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.
Claire’s spellbinding journey continues through the intrigue-ridden French court and the menace of Jacobite plots, to the Highlands of Scotland, through war and death in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Diana Gabaldon’s Voyager.

Love this whole series!!!
I liked everything about this book. Outlander is the only series I have ever read more than once!
Fabulous tension building which gripped me even though I already saw the movie series and knew roughly what would happen (luckily the movie series and book aren’t exactly the same). I was first put off by the time-lapse (the book begins about 20 years after the previous ended), but then I was so hooked, once again. The last scenes in the past go …
Excellent historical fiction by a very gifted writer.
Diana Gabaldon writes the best historic fiction, or just story, of anything I have read. The only fiction writer to be in the same class is the author of the Harry Potter books. A few non-fiction authors are as good.
Well researched, great at taking you back in time!
The first in a series and you must start here!! Time travel has been a favorite device of many authors but few give it flesh and bones and breath like this! You don’t have to pack much for this journey ( a cup of coffee or tea, a few nibbles or chocolate…) but you do need to set aside a nice chunk of your own time because you wont want to put …
No one equals Diana Gabaldon for bringing history alive.
It starts the journey of Jamie Fraser adn Claire Beacham. It’s everything you want in a book, to draw you in. You never want it to end… and it doesn’t
Part of the Outlander series – now on TV. Technically science fiction, but more historical fiction. I read the whole series and the side books. Many, many loyal fans.
Continuing the great Outlander saga
I can’t say enough about this Outlander series of books. The character development is excellent. The historical research is obvious as the two main characters travel thru Europe, surving battles between the Scots and English. The descriptions of common health issues due to living in the 1700’s and the herbal remedies used by the main character …
terrific
Love the writing style
I’ve read this series 5 times in the last 15 years and just started them again
I can’t put these books down, can’t get enough of Claire and Jamie and can’t wait to start the next book. As another reviewer said, it is a guilty pleasure for me! There is a lot packed into these books and this one ends with a cliffhanger that makes you really want to keep going.
The Outlaner series are the best books I have ever read. Very romantic and so much history.
Book 2 in the Outlander series, and one of my personal favorites. Claire and Jamie head to France to try to stop the Battle of Culloden. Can an unfortunate history be changed? Read this and find out!
my all time favorite series of books Diana Gabledon never disappoints me with her stories Love, love, love her books
The entire Outlander series is wonderful.
