In Outlander, a 600-page time-travel romance, strong-willed and sensual Claire Randall leads a double life with a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Torn between fidelity and desire, she struggles to understand the pure intent of her heart. But don't let the number of pages and the Scottish dialect scare you. It's one of the fastest reads you'll have in your library.
While on her second honeymoon in the British Isles, Claire touches a boulder that hurls her back in time to the forbidden Castle Leoch with the MacKenzie clan. Not understanding the forces that brought her there, she becomes ensnared in life-threatening situations with a Scots warrior named James Fraser. But it isn't all spies and drudgery that she must endure. For amid her new surroundings and the terrors she faces, she is lured into love and passion like she's never known before. I was lame and sore in every muscle when I woke next morning. I shuffled to the privy closet, then to the wash basin.... see complete book description

    next book should be available end of next year. Check Diana's homepage, she wrote down some captions from "An Echo through the Bones". (If I'm not mistaken that is the title)

    I absolutely *love* these books! Beautifully written characters that come to life for you. I was listening to the audio CD's while in college when I discovered this- I would listen to them when I worked, and the book was so good, I just kept working and working... didn't want to stop because I didn't want the story to end. hehe-

    Wonder when the last book will be published?

    You are so right! The last time I reread the series, I literally "chain-read" them. Put one down, picked up the next. Can't wait for the one coming out next year.

    Jamie and Claire. sigh. When you get to the end, you can't wait to pick up the next one! Gabaldon does a great job of developing her characters.
