Diana Gabaldon's brilliant storytelling has captivated millions of
readers in her bestselling and award-winning Outlander saga. Now, in An
Echo in the Bone, the enormously anticipated seventh volume, Gabaldon
continues the extraordinary story of the eighteenth-century Scotsman
Jamie Fraser and his twentieth-century time-traveling wife, Claire
Randall.
Jamie
Fraser, former Jacobite and reluctant rebel, is already certain of
three things about the American rebellion: The Americans will win,
fighting on the side of victory is no guarantee of survival, and he'd
rather die than have to face his illegitimate son-a young lieutenant in
the British army-across the barrel of a gun.
Claire Randall knows
that the Americans will win, too, but not what the ultimate price may
be. That price won't include Jamie's life or his happiness, though-not
if she has anything to say about it.
Meanwhile, in the relative
safety of the twentieth century, Jamie and Claire's daughter, Brianna,
and her husband, Roger MacKenzie, have resettled in a historic Scottish
home where, across a chasm of two centuries, the unfolding drama of
Brianna's parents' story comes to life through Claire's letters. The
fragile pages reveal Claire's love for battle-scarred Jamie Fraser and
their flight from North Carolina to the high seas, where they encounter
privateers and ocean battles-as Brianna and Roger search for clues not
only to Claire's fate but to their own. Because the future of the
MacKenzie family in the Highlands is mysteriously, irrevocably, and
intimately entwined with life and death in war-torn colonial America.
With
stunning cameos of historical characters from Benedict Arnold to
Benjamin Franklin, An Echo in the Bone is a soaring masterpiece of
imagination, insight, character, and adventure-a novel that echoes in
the mind long after the last page is turned.
