About this audiobook

Diana Gabaldon’s fans will be delighted to find Jamie and Claire as spirited and endearing as ever in this fourth installment of this magnificent saga. Romance, history, and time travel blend once again as the couple builds a new life together in the wilderness of pre–Revolutionary America.

Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century.

The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The second time, twenty years later, she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing
obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history.

Ratings and reviews

The audiobook seems to have tracks recorded out of order. It's not that the downloaded sections are out of order, because they're entitled appropriately and seem to be playing for really, but I'm in Noble Savages (spoilers follow), which is one, track and the bear attack happens and then still made it looking at 3 Indians and then suddenly they're back laying on their back talking about their birth stories, which the paper version happens before the bear attack. When they're done with that then some for the Indians again.

I love these books and the narrator is great to listen to. However this audio book has parts that are out of order. Kinda annoying.

Absolutely amazing, I enjoy all the small details this series brings and Davina Porter is an amazing narrator, looking for to listening to the next book.
