The dazzling fifth volume of Diana Gabaldon's extraordinary Outlander saga, featuring 18th-century Scotsman James Fraser and his 20th-century time-traveling wife, Claire Randall.

The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser's wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy--a time-traveler's certain knowledge.

Born in the year of Our Lord 1918, Claire Randall served England as a nurse on the battlefields of World War II, and in the aftermath of peace found fresh conflicts when she walked through a cleftstone on the Scottish Highlands and found herself an outlander, an English lady in a place where no lady should be, in a time--1743--when the only English in Scotland were the officers and men of King George's army.

Now wife, mother, and surgeon, Claire is still an outlander, out of place, and out of time, but now, by choice, linked by love to her only anchor--Jamie Fraser. Her unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead--or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes....

Grand, sweeping, utterly unforgettable, The Fiery Cross is riveting entertainment, a vibrant tapestry of history and human drama.

Non-stop with time-period action, the will to survive and love.

Burgandy K. - 5 years 11 months ago

What can I say about the fifth book the Outlander Series? Like the ones before it, The Fiery Cross is non-stop with time-period action, the will to survive and love. Always love! Set in North Carolina in the few years just before the American Revolution; Jamie and Claire are now surrounded by grandchildren, weddings, and some necessary evils. Suspense arises with the murder of a slave and the tensions rise between colonists and the English Government. It's a wonderful addition to the series and I can't wait to read the next one.
