NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The fifth book in Diana Gabaldon’s acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series. Don’t miss the new Outlander novel, Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone, available November 23! “A grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries].”—CNN The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie …
The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser’s wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy—a time-traveler’s certain knowledge.
Born in the year of Our Lord 1918, Claire Randall served England as a nurse on the battlefields of World War II, and in the aftermath of peace found fresh conflicts when she walked through a cleftstone on the Scottish Highlands and found herself an outlander, an English lady in a place where no lady should be, in a time—1743—when the only English in Scotland were the officers and men of King George’s army.
Now wife, mother, and surgeon, Claire is still an outlander, out of place, and out of time, but now, by choice, linked by love to her only anchor—Jamie Fraser. Her unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead—or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.

This one author I unhesitatingly give 5 stars for all her books – which I do very rarely for any other writer. I bought each book as it came out and read them again every so many years. I believe the next one is due soon and can’t wait.
I have read all of this series three times.
Gabaldon has no peer.
One of my favorites in the Outlander series.
Another wonderful book you can’t put down.
I’ve loved every Diana Gabaldon book from the time I read Outlander when it was published! I waited, not so patiently, for each of the new novels in the Series.
I appreciate her in depth study of her subjects which gives her books authenticity. She’s stellar!!!
Like all other Diana Gabaldon’s books this 5th instalment of the lives of Claire and Jamie Fraser is packed with adventures, love, family and friends in this case caught in the middle of of the American revolution.
My absolute favorite series
