The fiery cross, once used to summon Highland clans to war, now beckons readers to take up Diana Gabaldon's fifth installment in the Outlander series featuring the time-traveling Frasers. Historical fiction fans who have waited four long years since the publication of Drums of Autumn will thrill to Gabaldon's trademark detail and sensuality, both displayed liberally throughout the nearly 1,000 pages of The 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 |

marrie (USA: TN) (2012/10/16):
really hated this book, and for me to say that about a book, esp one about history is really remarkable. Reading the description of the book, you would think it would be spellbinding, but its just binding, book opens with a wedding planed for that night. first 10 chapters are an almost min by min account of claire's day.I can understand why the book is almost 1000 pages long, but does it have to be a dull, boring 1000 pages.even my school books were more interesting than this, and its supposed to be good reading?Sorry, I rate it a solid 5 thumbs down all the way.
