Fiery Cross (Outlander)
The fiery cross, once used to summon Highland clans to war, now beckons  readers to take up Diana Gabaldon's fifth installment in theOutlander seriesfeaturing  the time-traveling Frasers. Historical fiction fans who have waited four long  years since the publication ofDrums of Autumnwill thrill to  Gabaldon's trademark detail and sensuality, both displayed liberally throughout  the nearly 1,000 pages ofThe Fiery Cross. In this pre-Revolutionary War  period, Claire Fraser and her husband, Jamie, have crossed oceans and centuries  to build a life together in the bucolic beauty of North Carolina. But tensions  both ancient and recent threaten not only Claire and James, but their daughter,  Brianna, her new husband, Roger, and their infant son, Jemmy, as well as members  of their clan. Gabaldon delivers on what she does best: poignant storylines,  empathetic characters, meticulous detail, and searing passion. Savor every  carefully chosen word, readers; it may be a long time until the next  installment!--Alison Trinkle--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
