About this deal

July 4: Brianna and her new handmaid, Lizzie, sail aboard the Phillip Alonzo from Inverness, bound for Charleston, South Carolina. One Word Speaks Volumes (Themes of the Novels):” Some intelligent NPR interviewer asked me one day whether I could sum up the book we were talking about in a single sentence—and I realized that in fact, I could summarize the theme of each book in a single word. Read more… We also follow Roger and Brianna in their own world. How they try to have a relationship. Roger finds out that Jamie and Claire will die at Fraser's Ridge in just a few years. And Bri goes through the stones without telling Roger. And without any hesitation Roger follows her. I absolutely adore their relationship. GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE— which I am currently writing and researching— will be the ninth book in the OUTLANDER series of novels. Completion and publishing dates have not been announced yet. Roger explains that he is passing on a message from someone else, not himself. While waiting until he could follow Brianna through the stones, he spent time going through the Reverend’s papers where he discovered a letter, which he committed to memory. Roger’s first inclination was that he should tell Claire and Brianna. After consideration, he decides that the letter would concern Jamie more.

THE SCOTTISH PRISONER (novel): This one’s set in 1760, in the Lake District, London, and Ireland. A sort of hybrid novel, it’s divided evenly between Jamie Fraser and Lord John Grey, who are recounting their different perspectives in a tale of politics, corruption, murder, opium dreams, horses, and illegitimate sons. Certainly the characters of the two principals, Claire and Jamie, develop further in the story. Coming up with new and original characterization is very difficult in a series. It's too common to see characters established early then see little development as the series progresses. The relationship of Brianna and Roger is a clear example of this in Drums. The closeness of their relationship has been building since DiA and becomes such a strong one in Drums. Then we get to read about some of the stuff that Brianna and Roger are doing on the other side. Well, that sounded funny but you know what I mean. It turns out that Jamie has an aunt and some cousins and what not in North Carolina. His aunt runs River Run, a plantation with slaves that Claire and Jamie weren't too fond of. So they go out into the wilderness and start building, Fraser's Ridge. They want to have a colony there.Ian offers himself to the Mohawk in Roger's place, and he is adopted into the tribe to replace the dead Mohawk At last I took one big, callused hand and slid forward so I knelt on the boards between his knees. I laid my head against his chest, and felt his breath stir my hair. I had no words, but I had made my choice.

DRUMS OF AUTUMN opens with a hanging. One of Jamie’s old companions from his days in Ardsmuir prison is being hanged for theft, and Jamie has come to lend what support he can. Suddenly the proceedings are disrupted, as another prisoner makes a break for it–and Jamie, moved by the death of his friend, impulsively helps the man, a pirate named Stephen Bonnet, to escape; a decision that will have long-reaching and unforeseen effects.If you choose to read the Lord John stories as part of the Outlander series, you can read these novels after reading VOYAGER. See my Chronology of the Outlander series for more details. THE EXILE, A Graphic Novel Wee Ian- I have a newfound LOVE for Jamie's nephew. I can't believe I haven't realized what a great character he is before. My favorite after ( ? ) Jamie. Brianna! I really don’t know how I feel about her… I understand her somehow but I’m also angry at her! Yes it was wrong that Roger didn’t tell her about the newspaper article, but he really just tried to protect her! He loved her so much and she doubted him almost all of the time! I mean he even went through that freaking stone circle to get to her and she can’t even listen to him?! Hear him out and try to see things from his point of view?! She’s definitely Jamie’s daughter! That’s for sure! *argh*
