    "Go down. . .and tell them the MacKenzies are here."
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2021*

My goodness.  Can Diana Gabaldon tell some remarkable stories via her epic Outlander series.  From 20th Century nurse Claire Randall unwillingly falling through the time traveling stones of Craig na Dun, and into the arms of 18th Century Scottish Highlander Jamie Fraser in the pages of 
  
Outlander







  
  
    ; to Claire and Jamie desperately trying to thwart the carnage of Culloden in 
  
Dragonfly in Amber







  
  
    ; to separation, reunion, and reclamation in the swift moving 
  
Voyager







  
  
    , the Outlander series gives readers a rich tapestry of history--along with the timeless love of Claire and Jamie Fraser.  And the 4th installment of this series, DRUMS OF AUTUMN, in this reviewer's opinion the best installment yet, brings the Fraser family together for the first time--along with a suitor who goes through his own hell trying to find the love of his life.**SPOILERS!!**DRUMS OF AUTUMN takes place in the American Colonies--North Carolina, to be precise--half a decade away from the American Revolution.  Jamie has graciously declined an offer from his Aunt Jocasta to inherit her River Run plantation; he and Claire have gone west, into the mountains, to settle on their own land--a place that comes to be known as Fraser's Ridge.  Life is hard; Claire and Jamie are starting from scratch, building a cabin, planting crops, and beginning a relationship of deep respect with the local Cherokees.  They know the Revolutionary War is coming, yet are hopeful their seclusion and isolation will insulate them from the violence to come.Meanwhile, in 1970, Jamie and Claire's daughter, Brianna, is becoming romantically involved with young Scottish historian Roger Wakefield.  Roger is certain Brianna is the love of his life, while Bree wishes to slow the romance down; a Christmas visit in Scotland goes slightly awry.  With the long distance relationship consisting of the occasional phone call and written letters, Bree suddenly comes across a startling obituary--the deaths of her parents in a house fire.  In the second installment, we learned that Brianna (and Roger) are capable of traveling through the stones; Bree takes the ultimate risk by traveling to Craig na Dun--and plunging through the stones.  She finds passage to the Colonies; the search for her parents--for the father she's never met--begins.Roger, realizing what Bree has done, demonstrates his love for her.  He waits for the next pagan event and goes through the stones himself.  He finds passage to the Colonies as a sailor on a ship--captained by the notorious Stephen Bonnet.  It's a passage not for the faint of heart, particularly when disease erupts among the various passengers; Captain Bonnet exhibits some brutal inhumanity here.  Upon arrival in Wilmington, Roger--now calling himself Roger MacKenzie--and Brianna have a bittersweet reunion.  They become handfast (married for a year sans priest) and enjoy an intimate night--only for Bree to discover that Roger's known about the obit of Claire and Jamie all along, and that he decided not to share the information with her.  This causes some intense friction, and the couple parts--Brianna to travel west to find and notify her parents; Roger to search for Bonnet to obtain some jewels that will enable he and Bree to go back through the stones to the 20th Century.  Once he obtains them and makes his journey following Brianna to Fraser's Ridge, the tale takes a series of twisting turns and misunderstandings--all with Stephen Bonnet as the source.Claire and Jamie's reunion with Brianna is poignant and heartfelt--Jamie and Roger's first meeting is not so sweet, as Jamie is under the impression that the man following his daughter is the culprit who's raped her and impregnated her.  (This took place, Brianna tells her parents, while she was in Wilmington.)  Roger, beaten savagely, is sold into bondage with the Mohawk; he heads north, a prisoner.  Once Brianna learns of the misunderstanding, she demands her parents journey north and bring Roger back; her pregnancy prevents her from traveling.  Claire and Jamie--and Young Ian, Jamie's nephew--journey north, ultimately finding the village.  They attempt to barter and trade for Roger, but the village's sachem is firm:  for the tribe to release Roger, they must have another person.  Ian volunteers, as during the course of the story he's become quite close to the Indians.  Roger is finally told about Brianna by her parents--how she was raped by none other than Stephen Bonnet, and that she's pregnant.  The baby could be Roger's, or it could be Bonnet's; both events took place within a handful of days.  So Roger must decide if he should stay and be with Brianna and raise a child who may not be his--or go back through a nearby circle of stones to his own time.  He realizes once the baby is born, the chances of himself, Bree, and certainly the child, are virtually non-existent to go back to the 20th Century.  To stay is to stay in the 18th Century completely--with war on the horizon.  His decision culminates the ending of this remarkable story.Gabaldon tells a sweeping tale that is full of rich detail and vivid images and elegant, compelling prose.  Here is an installment where the story--for the first time--circles around a core of four characters.  Two of them are newcomers to the 18th Century.  How they mesh and interact--and much of it is not pleasant--is the engine that drives DRUMS OF AUTUMN.  This very thick volume is a mesmerizing page turner.~D. Mikels, Esq.

    A Line Unbroken
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023*

Too often lines of families lay tattered and broken. Diana Gabaldon beautifully writes to remind us of the importance of heritage as she articulates the struggle of American immigrants. She takes the reader through the horrors, struggles, and sacrifices America's inhabitants, both old and new.Her eloquent writing captures the emotion and beating of the heart, which whispers of hope. When all seems lost, it is love which lights the way through the darkest of times.

    Everything I ever wanted
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023*

This book…this whole series thus far has been amazing. I love traveling through time with Claire and Jamie. I started watching the show on a whim in early 2021, and started reading the books that August. If you love the TV series, read the books. There’s details and backstories the TV series does not have time to tell. I don’t know what I will do when I’m finished with the series, but for now, I enjoy collecting the books for display on my bookshelf and reading the books on Kindle. These are huge books, so the Kindle versions come in handy. Don’t sleep on this series.
