Synopsis

Diana Gabaldon is the New York Times bestselling author of Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn. A masterful novel of passion and a love spanning centuries, The Fiery Cross is the highly anticipated, triumphant continuation of the phenomenally popular Outlander series.

Eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his 20th-century time-travelling wife, Claire Randall, have emigrated to the beautiful countryside of the Royal Colony of North Carolina. The year is now 1771, and dissidents are stirring throughout the American colonies. Claire forewarns James
of the impending war and the dangers it may bring to their clan. Will her knowledge of America’s tumultuous revolution be enough to guide them through a dangerously uncertain future?

About Diana Gabaldon

American author, Diana J. Gabaldon, grew up in Flagstaff Arizona, where her father, Tony Gabaldon, served as an Arizona State Senator for sixteen years. Author Gabaldon received degrees from Northern Arizona University, and the University of California. Her degrees were centered around Zoology and Marine Biology. She worked in the field of her degrees for several years, then decided to just try her hand at writing a novel.

Gabaldon did research for her "practice novel" the old fashioned way, through reference books and periodicals......to quote her, "the Worldwide Web did not exist back then". After posting a short excerpt of her book on CompuServe Literary Forum, an author introduced her to a literary agent. He accepted the representation of this new author based on an unfinished first novel, which she had entitled Cross Stitch. U. S. publishers changed that first book in a trilogy (that was required by contract) to Outlander.

In 2014, the Outlander series was comprised of eight published novels. In August of 2014, the Outlander tv series premiered on Starz in the U.S.

Goodreads review by Nichole (DirrtyH) on March 30, 2008

So far, the weakest book in the series. This book dragged on and on and on... It took me about four times as long to finish this one as it did the other four. There was just a lot of unnecessary drama. The interesting parts were few and far between, but were just enough to keep me reading. And I wil......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on March 10, 2015

I DID IT. I FINISHED THIS HULKING BEAST OF A BOOK. The Fiery Cross is the fifth book in Arizona (woot) author Diana Gabaldon’s time-traveling historical fiction saga. I have enjoyed all the books up until this one, some with reservations, but still enjoyed. They all felt like they had strong backbone......more

Y no le pongo dos estrellas porque quiero mucho a los personajes, nada más. Cuatro meses para terminar el que para mi es el libro más aburrido de la serie, tremendamente descriptivo y cansado. No logré conectar con la historia :(......more

Second read- 2021 Reading along with the show but I fell behind— forgot how massive (but wonderfully written) these books are.

Goodreads review by Anniebananie on September 16, 2018

Okay don't judge me: aber ich glaube, dass es nie ein Outlander-Buch geben wird, welches von mir weniger als 5 Sterne bekommt 🤷🏼‍♀️ sorry not sorry, aber ich bin einfach so ein Hardcore-Fan dieser Reihe schon seit Band 1 😍🤷🏼‍♀️ Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass dieser Band ein wenig ruhiger war als die 4 Vo......more
