About this audiobook

Diana Gabaldon is the New York Times bestselling author of Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn. A masterful novel of passion and a love spanning centuries, The Fiery Cross is the highly anticipated, triumphant continuation of the phenomenally popular Outlander series.

Eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his 20th-century time-travelling wife, Claire Randall, have emigrated to the beautiful countryside of the Royal Colony of North Carolina. The year is now 1771, and dissidents are stirring throughout the American colonies. Claire forewarns James
of the impending war and the dangers it may bring to their clan. Will her knowledge of America’s tumultuous revolution be enough to guide them through a dangerously uncertain future?

Ratings and reviews

Her storytelling and descriptions are breathtaking and full of life. There are comedic elements throughout and intriguing mysteries to be solved. I was a big fan of the TV series and like how they've mostly stuck to the story of the books thus far, but also like the slight changes that were made for the show.

I love this book and series. The way it is written, and the truth in the beginning with real clans , people, places and horrific wars. It is erotic history at it's best.

Boring and I am hoping the next one is better 😂
