Synopsis: "1778: France declares war on Great Britain, the British army leaves Philadelphia, and George Washington’s troops leave Valley Forge in pursuit. At this moment, Jamie Fraser returns from a presumed watery grave to discover that his best friend has married his wife, his illegitimate son has discovered (to his horror) who his father really is, and his beloved nephew, Ian, wants to marry a Quaker. Meanwhile, Jamie’s wife, Claire Randall, and his sister, Jenny, are busy picking up the pieces.

 
The Frasers can only be thankful that their daughter Brianna and her family are safe in twentieth-century Scotland. Or not. In fact, Brianna is searching for her own son, who was kidnapped by a man determined to learn her family’s secrets. Her husband, Roger, has ventured into the past in search of the missing boy . . . never suspecting that the object of his quest has not left the present. Now, with Roger out of the way, the kidnapper can focus on his true target: Brianna herself." -Back Cover

My Thoughts

I have been a little remiss in my posting of these reviews recently. I have read two books since I last posted, so I am trying to catch up. You guys all know how much I love this series, it just keeps getting better. We continue to see the American Revolution from the perspective of those from both sides of the war, the Frasers (Continental Army) and the Greys (British Army). I continue to love getting to know William Ransom as portions of the novel follow him. He is now dealing with the knowledge that Jamie is his biological father and all the feels that come along with that. Lord John Grey is one of my favorite characters, so I am always excited when he is back in the Frasers' lives. 

I have read so these novels so quickly in the past year and a half that I have now only one currently written novel left to read, which is sadly still only in hardcover. Yep, it's that new. As of now, Gabaldon has promised this is a 10 book series, so I am excited and sad to be done with 8 of them. I am keeping my spirits up with the knowledge that there are still all the books the focus on John Grey that intersperse with the main novels, so I still have plenty of Outlander reading to do in the future. 

Can't wait to head back to Fraser's Ridge when the next book makes its paperback debut!
