Summary
Number one New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon returns with the newest novel in the epic Outlander series.
The past may seem the safest place to be...but it is the most dangerous time to be alive....
Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1746, and it took them 20 years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same.
It is 1779, and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser’s Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible.
Yet, even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great, and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell’s teakettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his tenants are split, and it won’t be long until the war is on his doorstep.
Brianna and Roger have their own worry: that the dangers that provoked their escape from the 20th century might catch up to them. Sometimes, they question whether risking the perils of the 1700s - among them disease, starvation, and an impending war - was indeed the safer choice for their family.
Not so far away, young William Ransom is still coming to terms with the discovery of his true father’s identity - and thus his own - and Lord John Grey has reconciliations to make, and dangers to meet...on his son’s behalf and his own.
Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser’s Ridge. And with the family finally together, Jamie and Claire have more at stake than ever before.

The first book in the series I had to wait for.
I like this book very much. Finished and started again directly, just to enjoy the story, the details, the writing and, not least, Davina Porter's excellent reading

Amazing As Always
As a lover of the series I can't ever complain about these books. Davina Porter is also the perfect narrator, her voice and character portrayals are simple yet effective. Perfection.

Enjoyed it
Probably my least favourite of the series but still really enjoyed it. Not as gripping as previous installments and lacking in character development for many, some fleshing out would have been nice, but I loved the tender moments. Enjoying seeing the couple growing older together. Looking forward to seeing where they end up after the ending here, time will tell. Not necessarily the most thrilling experience with Claire, Jamie & co, but I for one would happily listen again and enjoyed being back at the ridge all the same.

it never really got going
as ever the characterisations and narration were excellent. I enjoyed the detailed descriptions of everyday life but for me the story lacked the excitement and dizzying twists and turns of the other novels.

I don't know what to say...
Having read and listened to all of the books in the Outlander series, two times over, it was fabulous to finally find out how this installment would unfold.
Used to the fast pace writing and action, interspersed with slower chapters of daily life, that Diana Gabaldon is normally expert at, I found myself slightly bored with this book half way in, of course I persevered til the end as I love the characters.
There was not enough action or drama this time, and considering the war was about to break, I can't figure out why this book and the next were not dedicated to life during the war years. Nothing of real note really happened in this book and any action scenes seemed to be cut short and were disappointing. It seems to have been used as a vehicle for setting the scene for the much anticipated final book.
Davina Porter, as ever, did a fantastic job in the narrating of this book, if there are awards for narration she needs to win.
I know I will have to wait years for the affirmed final book and I really, really, hope it's a great finale.
