Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Their passionate encounter happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. This is a highly addictive series and fans will be eager to continue with The Drums of Autumn. Synopsis From the author of the breathtaking bestsellers Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber, the extraordinary saga continues. And as the title suggests, there is a lot of voyaging going on. Claire buys a slave, jumps ship, kills someone with an axe and posits a theory for the Loch Ness monster.

Gabaldon's plot takes many turns and manages to include hidden gold, a secret son, bigamy, a kidnapping, pirates, black magic, a slave uprising, a crocodile, a séance, a shipwreck, a Chinaman with a foot fetish, and a hurricane.

With the novel being in excess of a thousand pages, Gabaldon has plenty of room to tell her tale, so she manages to include much of what happened to Claire and Jamie in the intervening twenty years as well as the rollercoaster ride that is their lives since their reunion. In this instalment, Gabaldon mainly uses Claire as her first-person narrator, but Jamie, John Grey and Roger Wakefield also tell aspects of the story from their perspective. Centered on time travelling 20th century doctor Claire Randall and her 18th century Scottish Highlander warrior husband Jamie Fraser, the books contain elements of historical fiction, romance, adventure and fantasy.
