About the Book
The eagerly awaited fifth volume in the award-winning series of historical novels takes place in 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser's wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy--a time-traveler's certain knowledge.Book Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The fifth book in Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series. "A grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries]."--CNN The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser's wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy--a time-traveler's certain knowledge. Born in the year of Our Lord 1918, Claire Randall served England as a nurse on the battlefields of World War II, and in the aftermath of peace found fresh conflicts when she walked through a cleftstone on the Scottish Highlands and found herself an outlander, an English lady in a place where no lady should be, in a time--1743--when the only English in Scotland were the officers and men of King George's army. Now wife, mother, and surgeon, Claire is still an outlander, out of place, and out of time, but now, by choice, linked by love to her only anchor--Jamie Fraser. Her unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead--or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.Review Quotes
"An enjoyable escape...Gabaldon is a careful and expert storyteller."--Denver Post "Outstanding...don't even think about starting The Fiery Cross unless you have at least a weekend at your disposal... each and every [page] abounds with Ms. Gabaldon's sexy combination of humor, wild adventure and, underlying it all, the redemptive power of love... you'll love every minute."--Dallas Morning News

This is definitely slower paced than books 1-4, but I still enjoyed it. There is just something about Jaime and Claire’s love story that pulls me in.

This was definately my least favorite book of the series so far (still waiting for Echo in the Bone!); however it was still good. I just feel like I would skip paragraphs at a time because of all the detail. But the overall events of the book were great and I'll still always read it when re-reading the series, I just have to push myself through it, where the other books I can hardly set down.
