About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The third book in Diana Gabaldon’s acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series.

“Triumphant . . . Her use of historical detail and a truly adult love story confirm Gabaldon as a superior writer.”—Publishers Weekly
 
In this rich, vibrant tale, Diana Gabaldon continues the story of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser that began with the now-classic novel Outlander and continued in Dragonfly in Amber. Sweeping us from the battlefields of eighteenth-century Scotland to the West Indies, Diana Gabaldon weaves magic once again in an exhilarating and utterly unforgettable novel.
 
He was dead. However, his nose throbbed painfully, which he thought odd in the circumstances.
 
Jamie Fraser is, alas, not dead—but he is in hell. Waking among the fallen on Culloden Field, he is concerned neither for his men nor his wounds but for his wife and their unborn child. Lord, he prayed passionately, that she may be safe. She and the child. It’s a prayer he’ll utter many times over the next twenty years, never knowing but always hoping that Claire made it through the standing stones, back to the safety of her own time.

Safe she is, but believing Jamie gone forever, she’s obliged to live without a heart, her only comfort their daughter, Brianna. But now, their daughter grown, she discovers that Jamie survived, and a fateful decision lies before her: Stay with her beloved daughter, or go back to search Scotland’s dangerous past for the man who was her heart and soul, sustained only by the hope that they will still know each other if she finds him.

I am conflicted about this author and this series. She is an excellent craftsman when she (and her publishers) aren't loading the storyline with filler to bloat the series. As it is, this is my third and last purchase of anything by this author. I don't like being strung along, no matter how endearing the characters. If you can stomach the expense and irritation of being bilked in the name of entertainment, proceed. You can speed through the padding to the worthwhile bits and enjoy a great story. You might instead seek out great authors who want to be paid well but are not willing to sacrifice quality or, arguably, grift their readers.

But, be forwarned, long winded. For the life of me, I cannot fathom why this author continues to include page upon page of useless information that contains no value to the storyline or emotion of the scene. That being said, this could have have been a required reading classic for years to come, but for the mind numbing "page fill".

Some her descriptions got a little hard to follow throughout the novel. Found myself glazing through them. Like the story & love the characters, but not nearly as great as the first two novels.
