DESCRIPTION:
Claire Randall is still an outlander, out of place and out of time. Knowing that his wife has the gift of prophecy, James must believe Claire, though he would prefer not to. Claire has shared a dreadful truth--there will, without a doubt, be a war. The year is 1771. Her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through perilous years ahead--or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.. But now she is linked by love to her only anchor--Jamie Fraser. But tensions, both ancient and recent, threaten members of their clan. They have crossed oceans and centuries to build a life together in North Carolina
Fascinating story. Vivid characters. Prose that sings. Wow. Terrence Walsh Let's face it--over 22 THOUSAND people already reviewed this amazing book. It's been a bestseller for years--deservedly so.Why write ANOTHER review?First, to give author Diana Gabaldon her due.

However, the violence was too much for me - way too much. I've been reading through the series since the 1990s and someone gave me a copy of Outlander. I am now "hooked" on the TV series - but still enjoy the books (except for the violence). I purchased this copy of the book to finish my set. I recommend the series to anyone who has not already discovered it -- are there readers who have no discovered the series. I look forw
But tensions both ancient and recent threaten not only Claire and James, but their daughter, Brianna, her new husband, Roger, and their infant son, Jemmy, as well as members of their clan. Savor every carefully chosen word, readers; it may be a long time until the next installment! --Alison Trinkle. Historical fiction fans who have waited four long years since the publication of Drums of Autumn will thrill to Gabaldon's trademark detail and sensuality, both displayed liberally throughout the nearly 1,000 pages of The Fiery Cross. In this pre-Revolutionary War period, Claire Fraser and her husband, Jamie, have crossed oceans and centuries to build a life together in the bucolic beauty of North Carolina. The fiery cross, once used to summon Highland clans to war, now beckons readers to take up Diana Gabaldon's fifth installment in the Outlander series featuring the time-traveling Frasers. Gabaldon delivers on what she does best: poignant storylines, empa
