About this listen

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.

"[A]n enthralling experience." ( Booklist)

Don't start this series unless you are prepared to spend a lot of hours listening.It is compulsive and very difficult to put down.
The only complaint I have is that it is too racy to listen to when I am driving as I can't keep my attention on the road!

Outlander series will get you hooked

I have really enjoyed every book in this series... Diane Gabaldon is a very gifted writer and the brilliant narration of Davina Porter brings every story to life.

Another great performance by Davina Porter. She is fantastic with the different accents and is able to convey all the emotions in the book. I probably enjoyed The Fiery Cross slightly more than this book but I still couldn’t put this one down and love the vivid descriptions written Gabaldon. I am very keen to now move onto the next book in the series.

Another great audible book

Sometimes a little repetitive and get fetched but the characters and story swing you along. Narration is 1st class.

I'm addicted
