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.

Never tire of these stories - Wonderful!

Davina Porter is a great narrator. Other than a possible scrpting error or an printing error in an earlier printing of this book, She is Fabulous. (Chapter 100 - Marsali is introduced as Brianna's good sister - Mrs. Mackenzie.)

Where does this story leads?

This audible book is well recorded and performed. My only concerned is that there is no direction, no lead storyline to this 5th book of the serie. Really disappointed with this one.

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!

Highly recommended

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

mispronunciations irksome within a great story.

I love the series, the books and the characters, other than the constant shrugs looking like the shirt is too tight; a descriptive too often used in this series.
Although I am really enjoying the performer's voice, pacing and character voices, I am finding the mispronunciations a bit displeasing after a while.

Another EXCELLENT Read and a great performance!

Really enjoyed delving once more into the lives of Claire and Jamie, and Davina does a fabulous job of narration. What I enjoy most about the Outlander series are the many thought provoking questions about life that are woven in, many one does not think to ask oneself not to mention the historical education you get as your imagination takes flight. Cannot wait to start the next book!

Loving this App

I have been struggling to find time to read lately as life sometimes is very busy. I found this and I love that I can listen in my car while I am driving. I will definitely be enjoying more titles using this App. #Audible1 has made it so I can still enjoy a good book with my busy schedule.
I am so addicted to these books and the story I read through the first 4 books and watched the tv series on Netflix but then life got busy love this.
These characters are amazing and I love that it keeps going forward in their lives.
Thanks #Audible1

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!
