The fiery trails of tracer bullets, as a wounded Spitfire falls from the sky. A Jamaican plantation burns deep into the night. A handful of heroic Highlanders fight their way straight up a vertical cliff to stand on the Plains of Abraham in a fiery dawn. And a torch burns green, through the eerie surrounds of a Parisian cemetery, down into the mysteries of the earth. Four Outlander tales, each set in a different time and place, and yet each one a fiery thread in the warp and weft of the epic story that began in Scotland in 1945, when Claire Randall first touched a boulder in an ancient stone circle and was hurled back in time...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The second book in Diana Gabaldon’s acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series. “A triumph! A powerful tale layered in history and myth. I loved every page.”—Nora Roberts With her classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters—Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser—delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful sequel to Outlander. For twenty years, Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the mysteries of Scotland’s mist-shrouded Highlands. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as shocking as the events that gave it birth: the secret of an ancient circle of standing stones, the secret of a love that transcends centuries, and the truth of a man named Jamie Fraser—a Highland warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his. Claire’s spellbinding journey continues through the intrigue-ridden French court and the menace of Jacobite plots, to the Highlands of Scotland, through war and death in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

In a novel featuring Outlander hero Jamie Fraser in a major role, #1 bestselling author Diana Gabaldon continues the Lord John series. Jamie Fraser, a Scottish Jacobite officer paroled as a prisoner of war on an estate in the Lake District, finds the numbness of his days disturbed. First, by dreams of his dead wife, then by the presence of the small son he cannot claim. Much more disturbing is the sudden reappearance in his life of Lord John Grey, with a summons that will take him—again—from everything he values. A legacy from a dead friend has led Lord John and his brother Hal in pursuit of a corrupt army officer, along a trail of politics and murder. The matter becomes critical when the trail leads into Ireland, with a baffling message left in the tongue called "Erse"—the language spoken by Scottish Highlanders. Jamie is forced to help the Greys, in order to guard his own secrets. But the Greys have secrets, too, which may deprive him of his life, as well as his liberty.

An outcast from society, Hal is beset by troubles. Not only is he grieving the deaths of his wife, Esmé, and their unborn child, he’s still in shock over the revelations of her infidelity—an episode that ended with Hal killing her lover, Nathaniel Twelvetrees, in a duel. Minnie and Hal are immediately drawn to one another, but when Mr. Bloomer asks her to steal potentially incriminating letters between Esmé and Nathaniel that Hal still has in his possession, she finds herself swayed by fascination and empathy for a man she barely knows.

1772--the eve of the American revolution. In Boston, men lie dead in the street and in the backwoods of America, isolated cabins burn in the darkness of the forest. The Colony is in ferment. Jamie Fraser, a passionate leader of men, receives an envoy from the Governor Josiah Martin, asking for help. The Governor needs someone to unite the backcountry, pacify the seething resentments of the settlers, and keep the mountains safe for King and Crown. Jamie Fraser, everyone agrees, is the man for the job. But Jamie knows what is to come. His wife, Claire, has travelled back in time from the twentieth century, and she knows that it''s only a matter of a few years before the start of the War of Independence, ending with the exile or death of the men loyal to the King of England. Neither prospect appeals to Jamie. Beyond everything else, though, looms the threat of a tiny clipping from The Wilmington Gazette, dated 1776, which reports the destruction of the house on Fraser''s Ridge, and the death by fire of James Fraser and all his family. Jamie hopes Claire is wrong, for once, about the future--but only time will tell.

Séptima entrega de la exitosa saga de Diana Gabaldon "Outlander" en la que se basa la popular serie de televisión. Una historia de amor diferente, en la que los encuentros fortuitos y el juego equívoco del tiempo se conjugan en un intrigante final. Jamie Fraser, antiguo jacobita y rebele a su pesar, tiene claras tres cosas sobre la sublevación de las colonias americanas: que ésta prosperará, que luchar en el lado vencedor no es garantía de supervivencia, y que prefiere la muerte a tener que enfrentarse en el campo de batalla a su hijo ilegítimo, un joven teniente del ejército británico. Claire Randall, por su parte, sabe que los americanos triunfarán, pero no a qué precio, y hará cuanto esté en su mano para garantizar la supervivencia y la felicidad de su esposo. Entretanto, en la relativa seguridad del siglo XX, la hija de Claire y Jamie, Brianna, y su marido, Roger MacKenzie, se han instalado en una casa escocesa con muchos siglos de historia. Allí Brianna encuentra unas cartas que revelan el amor de Claire por Jamie y sus viajes en el tiempo... Conscientes de que su propio futuro depende de ello, Brianna y Roger se ven obligados a encontrar lo antes posible pistas sobre el destino de Claire. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Diana Gabaldon’s brilliant storytelling has captivated millions of readers in her bestselling and award-winning Outlander saga. In An Echo in the Bone, the seventh volume, Gabaldon continues the extraordinary story of the eighteenth-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his twentieth-century time-traveling wife, Claire Randall. Jamie Fraser, former Jacobite and reluctant rebel, is already certain of three things about the American rebellion: The Americans will win, fighting on the side of victory is no guarantee of survival, and he’d rather die than have to face his illegitimate son—a young lieutenant in the British army—across the barrel of a gun. Claire Randall knows that the Americans will win, too, but not what the ultimate price may be. That price won’t include Jamie’s life or his happiness, though—not if she has anything to say about it. Meanwhile, in the relative safety of the twentieth century, Jamie and Claire’s daughter, Brianna, and her husband, Roger MacKenzie, have resettled in a historic Scottish home where, across a chasm of two centuries, the unfolding drama of Brianna’s parents’ story comes to life through Claire’s letters. The fragile pages reveal Claire’s love for battle-scarred Jamie Fraser and their flight from North Carolina to the high seas, where they encounter privateers and ocean battles—as Brianna and Roger search for clues not only to Claire’s fate but to their own. Because the future of the MacKenzie family in the Highlands is mysteriously, irrevocably, and intimately entwined with life and death in war-torn colonial America. With stunning cameos of historical characters from Benedict Arnold to Benjamin Franklin, An Echo in the Bone is a soaring masterpiece of imagination, insight, character, and adventure—a novel that echoes in the mind long after the last page is turned.

OUTLANDER 7: Jamie e Claire, naufragati sulle coste delle Colonie Americane, avevano deciso di lasciarsi alle spalle la Scozia e la sua triste realtà di carestia e miseria per tentare di ricostruirsi una vita nel Nuovo Mondo, dove sperano di trovare finalmente la pace. Certo, la Rivoluzione americana è imminente, ma forse quel remoto rifugio di montagna sfuggirà ai clamori della guerra. Pur sentendo acutamente la mancanza di sua figlia Brianna, Claire si rincuora sapendola in un’epoca molto più sicura per la sua esistenza di donna emancipata: il futuro. Tuttavia, ecco che Brianna fa la sua comparsa nel passato, decisa a intraprendere il periglioso viaggio tra le pietre del tempo alla ricerca dei suoi genitori. Ha una missione importantissima: aiutarli a schivare un’insidia mortale di cui lei, grazie appunto all’osservatorio privilegiato del futuro, è venuta a sapere. Così, giunta nella Inverness del 1769, li cercherà a Lallybroch dove troverà ad accoglierla la numerosa famiglia di Jamie e la notizia che lui si trova insieme a sua moglie al di là dell’oceano. Non le resta che imbarcarsi a sua volta, affrontando innumerevoli peripezie prima del tanto agognato incontro con i genitori. E ancora non sa che Roger, il suo innamorato scozzese, ha deciso di seguirla nel suo viaggio straordinario, deciso a proteggerla dai pericoli del passato...

The first in a trilogy of time travel historical fiction. Set in Scotland, and spanning two centuries, this book takes its heroine from 1945 to 1743. Her love life with a Scottish soldier teaches her that a man''s instinct to cherish the woman he loves is as old as time.

Diana Gabaldon takes readers back to eighteenth-century Britain as Lord John Grey pursues a deadly family secret as well as a clandestine love affair, set against the background of the Seven Years War. Seventeen years earlier, Grey’s father, the Duke of Pardloe, shot himself, days before he was to be accused of being a Jacobite traitor. By raising a regiment to fight at Culloden, Grey’s elder brother has succeeded in redeeming the family name, aided by Grey, now a major in that regiment. But now, on the eve of the regiment’s move to Germany, comes a mysterious threat that throws the matter of the Duke’s death into stark new question, and brings the Grey brothers into fresh conflict with the past and each other. From barracks and parade grounds to the battlefields of Prussia and the stony fells of the Lake District, Lord John’s struggle to find the truth leads him through danger and passion, ever deeper, toward the answer to the question at the centre of his soul–what is it that is most important to a man? Love, loyalty, family name? Self-respect, or honesty? Surviving both the battle of Krefeld and a searing personal betrayal, he returns to the Lake District to find the man who may hold the key to his quest: a Jacobite prisoner named Jamie Fraser. Here, Grey finds his truth and faces a final choice: between honour and life itself. From the Hardcover edition.
