Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The fourth book in Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series. "Unforgettable characters . . . richly embroidered with historical detail."-- The Cincinnati Post What if you knew someone you loved was going to die? What if you thought you could save them? How much would you risk to try? Claire Randall has gone to find Jamie Fraser, the man she loved more than life, and has left half her heart behind with their daughter, Brianna. Claire gave up Jamie to save Brianna, and now Bree has sent her mother back to the mysterious Scottish warrior who was willing to give his life to save them both. But a chilling discovery in the pages of history suggests that Jamie and Claire's story doesn't have a happy ending. Brianna dares a terrifying leap into the unknown in search of her mother and the father she has never met, risking her own future to try to change history . . . and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past . . . or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The fourth book in Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series. "Unforgettable characters . . . richly embroidered with historical detail."-- The Cincinnati Post What if you knew someone you loved was going to die? What if you thought you could save them?

Brianna dares a terrifying leap into the unknown in search of her mother and the father she has never met, risking her own future to try to change history . . . and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past . . . or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong., In her long awaited new novel, Drums of Autumn , Diana Gabaldon continues the remarkable story of Claire and Jamie Fraser that began with the classic Outlander , and its bestselling sequels, Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager. Cast ashore in the American colonies, the Frasers are faced with a bleak choice: return to a Scotland fallen into famine and poverty, or seize the risky chance of a new life in the New World--menaced by Claire's certain knowledge of the coming Revolution. Still, a highlander is born to risk--and so is a time-traveler. Their daughter, Brianna, is safe--they think--on the other side of a dangerous future; their lives are their own to venture as they will. With faith in themselves and in each other, they seek a new beginning among the exiled Scottish Highlanders of the Cape Fear, in the fertile river valleys of the Colony of North Carolina. Even in the New World, though, the Frasers find their hope of peace threatened from without and within; by the British Crown and by Jamie's aunt, Jocasta MacKenzie, last of the MacKenzies of Leoch. A hunger for freedom drives Jamie to a Highlander's only true refuge: the mountains. And here at last, with no challenge to their peace--save wild animals, Indians, and the threat of starvation--the Frasers establish a precarious foothold in the wilderness, secure in the knowledge that even war cannot invade their mountain sanctuary. But history spares no one, and when Brianna follows her mother into the past, not even the mountains can shelter a Highlander. For Brianna too has an urgent quest: not only to find the mother she has lost and the father she has never met, but to save them both from a future that only she can see.

    Do not miss Diana Gabaldon's Outlander books!

    The book I received was in great condition. I love Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. You receive an excellent history lesson through the lives of these dynamic characters through this author's meticulous research of the time. The setting is 18th century Scotland and the struggle between Scotland and England; it continues into the New World (America) and the struggle for independence there. The characters are well developed with the central characters being Scottsman Jamie Fraser and Englishwoman Claire Randall (who happens to be a time traveler from the twentieth century.) I was hooked on their story from the first page. I am not usually a fan of sci-fi or fantasy, but this story is completely realistic (aside from how Claire came to be part of this adventure). This is a 9 book collection ...

    Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabon

    This book and seven more are the colmination of a life work for Diana Galabdon. They are an amazing testament to her writing skills and her imagination. What a great story teller. I recommend any of her books to anyone who loves to read and enjoys a historical and fantasy based story. Enjoy. Shirley Domenichelli

    Romance and historical fiction

    Diana Gabaldon writes beautifully. I've enjoyed the whole series of 8 books, and pre-ordered Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone, which should be out in 2020. Historical, sci-fi, mystical, mystery romance: Time travel, magic, ghosts, fairies, witches, Highlanders and highwaymen, pirates, and global adventure - in Scotland, The Bahamas, the Carolinas, in the 18th century and the 20th.
