Their love has survived the test of time. But can it survive fate? It is America, 1772 - it is only a few years before the war of independence and the colony seethes with unrest. As battle lines are drawn up and loyalties tested, no one is safe in this new country. Jamie Fraser receives a message from Governor Josiah Martin. He wants Jamie's help to keep the backcountry safe for King and Crown. But Jamie knows what's to come. His wife, Claire, has travelled back from the twentieth century and she knows what will happen to those loyal to the King of England. Exile or death. Neither prospect appeals to Jamie. But Claire knows something else. From her own time she's read an article, dated 1776, reporting the destruction by fire of their home on Fraser's Ridge and the death of those who live there. Jamie hopes Claire is wrong, for once, about the future. But only time will tell... |

PrizesFEATURING AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DIANA GABALDON ReviewsBad news for Jamie Fraser: he's sent to the American Colonies to help quell a rebellion, but he knows from his time-traveling wife, Claire, that the Colonists win. Sixth in an ever-popular series. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information. "'Gripping'" OK! "'Diana Gabaldon is a born storyteller'" Los Angeles Daily News "'History comes deliciously alive on the page'" New York Daily News "'A blockbuster hit'" Wall Street Journal "The sixth instalment of the adventures of Claire and Jamie Fraser, already number one on the bestseller list, is a whopping 980 pages of action-packed escapism. It also has surprisingly melancholy and insightful views on the experience of growing old and dealing with the losses that entails... One of the things that sets Gabaldon apart from other romance writers is exhaustive research of the times in which her characters live, so evident in her attention to period detail... plot lines and stand-alone yarns are expertly woven together with the overall theme of impending doom and the question of predetermination" The Toronto Star
