Publisher's Summary
A worldwide sensation with more than 12 million copies in print, Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series has produced #1 best-selling novels and earned a fiercely devoted fan base. Another spellbinding entry in the series, A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the saga of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century, time-traveling wife, Claire. The year is 1772, and the rift between Britain and its American colonies has put a frightening word into the minds of all concerned: revolution. In the backwoods of North Carolina, violence has already reared its ugly head, as cabins have been burned to the ground. To preserve the colony for King George III, the governor pleads with Jamie to bring the people together and restore peace. But Jamie has the privilege, although some might call it a burden, of knowing that war cannot be avoided. Claire has told him that the colonies will unite and rebel, and the result will be independence, with all British loyalists either dead or exiled. And there is an additional problem. Claire has discovered a newspaper clipping from 1776 that tells of Jamie’s death. With its epic scope, historical details, and sweeping romance, A Breath of Snow and Ashes is everything Gabaldon’s fans love and more.

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

What the critics say
Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day
When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

The best!
I love Outlander! This was a great story with the usual 1000 stories overlapping to make an amazing narrative tapestry. I loved how the accents were captured in the audio.

love this series
What a great voice. Includes accents and differentiates between characters.You always know which character is talking just by the tone of voice and accent she uses. #Audible1

A great next story in the series
I thought this was a fantastic next book in the series. Lots of character and plot growth. Davina Porter did a fantastic job narrating. I love how you can tell who is speaking in the book based on the character voices she has developed. I own all the books in the series but I've already bought the next two on audible as well because I love listening while I'm working. A great "read".

Love the series! Excellent narration!
Since reading Outlander I was hooked with Diana's incredible writing. But aside from that I have to say that the narrator is absolutely outstanding! After listening to another book simular in style I realized how spoiled I have become listening to the last 5 books with Davina. She delivers every character with such individuality. I never wonder who is talking since she gives each character their own tone and/or accent. Amazing series! Amazing narration!

Amazing performance on the series!
Davina Porter performance on the co.plete series is just amazing. I am.not much for the romance parts on the book but I enjoy Gabaldon's detailed/descriptive writting, the historical value of her series and how she interlaces fiction. At times during the series where the stories lacks for me the performer just got me through . Picking up the next one!

Much better than the previous one.
I disliked #5 The Fiery Cross" so much I thought it would be my last read in thé Outlander series. But I read a lot of other reviews and most said that #5 WAS bad, but that #6 was much much better. So I took a chance and they were right. I took me close to one full year to get through "The Fiery Cross" and a little more than a month to start and complete "A Breath of Snow and Ashes". I think it speaks for itselft.
