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.
