Jamie Fraser, erstwhile Jacobite and reluctant rebel, knows three things about the American rebellion: The Americans will win, unlikely as that seems in 1777; being on the winning side is no guarantee of survival; and hed rather die than face his illegitimate sona young lieutenant in the British armyacross the barrel of a gun.
His time-traveling wife, Claire, knows that the Americans will win, but not what the ultimate price may be. That price wont include Jamies life or happiness, thoughnot if she has anything to say about it.
And in the relative safety of the 20th century, their daughter Brianna and her husband, Roger, watch the unfolding of her parents story in the pasta past that may be sneaking up behind their own family.

An Echo in the Bone
I have started a new thread just in case there are spoilers for people who haven't read all of the earlier books. There is now a blurb for this book:
My Blog - Reading Adventures
All things Historical Fiction - Historical Tapestry
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

I'm looking forward to this one. I originally raced through the "Outlander" series, and then developed "Fraser fatigue" after "Drums of Autumn".
Last year I picked up the series again, and was reminded of what a great storyteller DG is. I'm glad that the story is to continue, and what an evocative title!

I'm planning on taking A Breath of Snow and Ashes on holiday with me in July and then I shall have to wait for this one to be published! I have it on order with Amazon but it's still giving me a date of 2010.
