Publisher's Summary

The year is 1771. Claire Randall is still an outlander, out of place and out of time. But now she is linked by love to her only anchor: Jamie Fraser. They have crossed oceans and centuries to build a life together in North Carolina. But tensions, both ancient and recent, threaten members of their clan.

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. 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.

Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day


When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

Would not play through

Very disappointed, book kept returning to chapter 2, and only would play past it with continued listening. Try to skip ahead and it would return to the beginning. This is a great book, one of my favorites. To back I couldn't listen all the way though

Wonderful storytelling by an extremely talented narrator. Even after so many hours with these characters I still want to listen to more.

Amazing story!

I'm listening to this series for the very first time and I'm loving it. I'm a huge fan of historical pieces and have thoroughly enjoyed this series! Diana is very good at her research and has written a historically accurate tale that will rip your heart out and make you laugh at the same time. with historical figures appearing throughout, it is an excellent mixture of historical fact and fantasy. Highly recommend this series to anyone!

One of my favourite authors

She is just amazing. My only regret is that I didn’t read this years ago when I finished the first book!

Love the Outlander series!

Gabaldon’s books are so packed with detail you feel like you are right there with the characters. You see what they see, and feel what they feel. The characters are so well described they become someone you know, friend or foe. Award winning Davina Porter is the perfect narrator for this series. She is a master of accents and voices, giving each character a distinct personality that’s easy to follow.
I recommend you read all the books in this series more than once to catch the many hidden details you may have missed the first time. Immerse yourself into the world of Outlander, there’s so much there for you to enjoy!
