Book
An echo in the bone : a novel / Diana Gabaldon.
"Jamie Fraser, erstwhile Jacobite and reluctant rebel, knows three things about the American rebellion: the Americans will win, unlikely as that seems in 1778; being on the winning side is no guarantee of survival; and hed rather die than face his illegitimate son a young lieutenant in the British Army across the barrel of a gun. Frasers time-travelling wife, Claire, also knows a couple of things: that the Americans will win, but that the ultimate price of victory is a mystery. What she does believe is that the price wont include Jamies life or happiness not if she has anything to say.Claires grown daughter Brianna, and her husband, Roger, watch the unfolding of Briannas parents history a past that may be sneaking up behind their own family."--Provided by the publisher.

Time traveler Claire knows how the American Revolution will end, but she doesn't know how husband Jamie will fare when he comes up against his illegitimate son, who serves in the British army. Seventh in the Outlander series, which will soon debut in graphic-novel form-a sure sign of its popularity. Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information. - LJ Express Reviews : LJ Express Reviews
The seventh installment of Gabaldon's popular Outlander series will not disappoint her fans, who've been chomping at the bit since A Breath of Snow and Ashes (2005). Highlander Jamie Fraser and his time-traveling wife, Claire, find themselves in the midst of the American Revolution. Jamie is fighting on the winning side-but he fears facing in battle his illegitimate son, William, a lieutenant in the British army. Meanwhile, in the 20th century, daughter Brianna and family have settled at the Fraser ancestral home, where they face their own perils. Verdict Readers anticipating a lengthy visit with Jamie and Claire may be vexed to find that a goodly chunk of the story is devoted to William; but his adventures include all the thrilling elements Outlander addicts have come to crave. Relish this book-it might be a long stretch until the next fix. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 6/1/09.]-Jeanne Bogino, New Lebanon Lib., New York Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
