New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon mesmerized readers with her award-winning Outlander novels, four dazzling tales featuring eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his twentieth-century time-traveling wife, Claire Randall. Now, in this eagerly awaited fifth volume, Diana Gabaldon continues their extraordinary saga, a masterpiece of pure storytelling that is her most astonishing Outlander novel yet....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. Claire's 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.From the Trade Paperback edition.

I'm giving up! Despite being impressed with the first four Outlander books, I don't think I can continue. This one is boring as all get out, even though it's set in a dreamy & exciting locale - colonial North Carolina! I read about what happens in this & subsequent books in the series (lots of 18th century medicine, lots of breastfeeding, more abductions & rapes of main characters) & decided not to go on. So if anyone wants to get lunch & fill me in on everything else that happens to Claire, Jamie, Brianna, & Roger, by all means, do tell.
The weakest so far of the series. Character development went straight downhill and there was a lot more shark jumping and a lot less organized plot line than the previous books. I???ll still read the next one, though
