Search - An Echo in the Bone (Outlander, Bk 7)

An excellent mix of the 18th century Revolutionary War period in the colonies, and contemporary Scotland. Same characters with new challenges, life and death situations, romance, drama, murder and intrigue. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Even after 1100 pages I didn't want it to end. Now I've got to wait till the next one in the series. One must suspend belief to go along with Clair Frazier and her daughter Bree's time travels through to 200 years ago. But, hey, it's fiction, and a solid good yarn to boot. The history is accurate as to the big picture of the events of America's struggle for independence from the tyranny of being governed by Britain, and the struggle of individuals for their freedoms as well (rings a bell, doesn't it?) If you don't care for complex, multilayered, many peopled sagas, this is not for you. If you really enjoy this type of book, complex and entertaining, its a wonderful read!

The 7th book, depending how you count, in the series. Jamie Fraser just keeps on keeping on. It would probably help if you read the other books first, there's a lot of characters travelling across time, space (although I THINK everything happens on good old Terra) and shifting loyalties. I got lost. Most of it happens in Revolutionary War America. Diana Gabaldon certainly writes at least one step above "Romance" writing.

I actually got this book for my daughter. I read it when it came out and loved it and so does my daughter.

This is the latest in a wonderful series of books that will keep you enraptured by it's ability to transport you to a time and place where the adventure is so real you will find yourself unable to put the book down.

Of course, being that it is well over 500 pages, you will have to choose the spot where you can close the book and still be able to get to sleep.

The characters become a part of your life and I suggest that you find someone who has also read it to help you through the trauma and bliss of this most enjoyable epic.

I won't give away the ending. But suffice it to say, there will be another book, but the wait is agonizing.
