Publisher's 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.

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.

Wonderful Addition to the Epic Series

Loved it as usual with all of the Outlander books I became totally engrossed and found it flew by too quickly. I most certainly will re listen again, after re reading the rest of the series, and perhaps while waiting for the next season of the show to resume.

Audible reading method

Davina Porter is wonderful, she brings the characters to life. I prefer audible books as I do not have the inclination to sit for hours reading. I can listen as I do other tasks.

Good as always

As good as the other volumes. Like the previous ones, however, the author stays around a character for a long time and we wonder what is happening with the other characters during this same time and that would be just as interesting and important in the story. Ms. Porter doesn't seem to fixate on William's voice, it's funny sometimes, but she's so talented. The end is rather abrupt it surprised me.

Home again

There are series that envelope you like a warm blanket and make you feel like you have come home. This is how I feel with each of Diana Gabaldon's books.

All of the characters feel like family to me and this long awaited book made me feel like I had been away from home for a long time. it was so good to be back.

Davina Porter is the perfect narrator for this series and helps you to visualize and feel emotionally what the writer is trying to convey.
