Voyager

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 exotic West Indies, Diana Gabaldon weaves magic once again in an exhilarating and utterly unforgettable novel....

Their love affair happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her ... and her body still cries out for him in her dreams.

When she discovers that Jamie may have survived, Claire must choose her destiny. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the courage to face what awaits her ... the deadly intrigues raging in a divided Scotland ... and the daring voyage into the dark unknown that lies beyond the standing stones.


I have been a fan of Jamie and Claire for almost 20 years and have read the series over and over again.  Last year instead of re-reading I began listening to the series read by Davina Porter and have fallen more in love with Jamie and Claire.  She does a fantastic job!  This series is a huge commitment but well worth the time and effort.

I love this series. I don't know how you find the time to read them over and over. Maybe the tapes would be a good fix for me :)

20 years ago? Hmmm I'm definitely behind I wasn't yet allowed to read adult novels at that time! But this sounds an interesting read. How big is this book? Considering my library have this...

Oh I know! I love what Davina Porter brings to these books. If they weren't so long, I'd listen to them again and again.
