Title: An Echo in the Bone
Description: Dell. Paperback. Pp: 1155. Diana Gabaldon`s brilliant storytelling has captivated millions of readers in her bestselling and award-winning Outlander saga. In An Echo in the Bone, the 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.
