There’s never been a better time to discover the novels behind the blockbuster Starz original series Outlander. Blending rich historical fiction with riveting adventure and a truly epic love story, here are the first four books of Diana Gabaldon’s New York Times bestselling saga that introduced the world to the brilliant Claire Randall and valiant Highlander Jamie Fraser: OUTLANDER DRAGONFLY IN …
OUTLANDER
DRAGONFLY IN AMBER
VOYAGER
DRUMS OF AUTUMN
Scottish Highlands, 1945. Claire Randall, a former British combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding clans in the year of Our Lord . . . 1743. Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of a world that threatens her life, and may shatter her heart. Marooned amid danger, passion, and violence, her only chance of safety lies in Jamie Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior. What begins in compulsion becomes urgent need, and Claire finds herself torn between two very different men, in two irreconcilable lives.

Love, love, love this author & all of her books.
Time travel that will lure you in and keep you wanting more!
Have been reading the series for the second time. Having trouble changing my account but anxious to get back to reading
I enjoyed all of these books! I loved the strength of the characters. The blend of history, adventure, and maturation of the characters throughout this saga was mesmerizing.
Best series I’ve ever read–been reading these since the first one came out in the 90’s– can’t wait for the next one!!!
my favorite books! Have reread several times, something I NEVER do!
These are my favorite books. I love Jaime and Clair’s relationship! I especially love Clair’s doctoring scenes.
Diana is wonderful write. She is historically accurate while inserting her characters into the story line. I love history and she does perfect research for her novels. I have not read of book of hers that I did not truly enjoy!
The original Outlander series. I have read, re-read, listened to on Audio books, and watched the Showtime series. All are great!
These are some of the best historical fiction books I’ve ever read. There is a time travel element too but even if that’s not your thing, most of the story takes place in one time era.
The characters are amazing! Claire and Jamie are so hot together!
If you get a chance, watch the TV series too!
Such an original story with characters you’d love to know. Easy way to learn history.
I have already written my opinions about this Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. It is outstanding. The characters seem to almost come to life as you read of their adventures. Amazing!
Just love her books can’t put them down
Very well written. Great characters and story.
Love the entire series. Diana is a wonderful writer. I think most anyone would enjoy them.
This series is an all time favorite of mine.
Never a dull moment and I learned so much about history.
The best series of books ever!
These are well written historical novels. But be warned, they have a lot of sexual content.
