Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
The third of Gabaldon's novels featuring the time-traveling heroine Claire Randall covers her reunion with her twentieth-century husband, the birth of her daughter by eighteenth-century Scots clansman Jamie Fraser, and her training as a doctor. In due course, she feels driven to essay time traveling again, but reunion with Jamie takes place on the eve of Culloden. The pair's subsequent flight for life takes them to the West Indies and, finally, to a hair-raising shipwreck in the American colonies that hints there may be a fourth volume of Claire's adventures. Gabaldon handles the time-travel elements competently but subordinates them to classic historical romance--a big one, luxuriantly detailed and featuring highly appealing characters and an authentic feel to the background that speaks well of her research and writing. Recommended wherever Outlander and A Dragonfly in Amber found an audience. Roland Green

From Kirkus Reviews
The third (Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber) in a time-travel trilogy that again creates a vivid sense of daily life in 18th- century Europe. Unlike its predecessors, however, Gabaldon's latest relies more on genre clich‚s than on history for its drama. The story opens in 1746, on the battlefield of Culloden, where Scotland's dream of winning independence from England has just been brutally crushed. Our hero, gallant Highland laird Jamie Fraser, survives the battle and makes his way to a cave near his estate. There, he goes into hiding for several years, then turns himself in to the English to protect his near-starving dependents--and winds up in prison. Meanwhile, Claire Randall, the love of Jamie's life- -whom he had sent back through a charmed circle of stones to the safety of her passionless but companionable 20th-century marriage just before the battle began--is raising her and Jamie's daughter and working as a doctor in postwar England. Once their daughter is grown, Claire traces Jamie's fate through historical documents, realizes he survived Culloden, and steps back through the circle for the third and last time--to join him in 18th-century Scotland, 20 years after they parted. After a passionate reunion, they're soon on the run again from the English--and it's an eventful journey. While chasing a mysterious ship that kidnapped Jamie's nephew, the pair and their ragtag entourage dodge pirates, battle a witch, and survive saber slashes, gunshots, brushes with typhoid, and violent tropical storms at sea. Thanks to a string of Dickensian coincidences, they also encounter--or at least learn the fate of--all the principal characters from the first two books. Fans will savor this hefty tome's conscientious tying up of loose ends--but Claire's uncharacteristic passivity throughout and the book's overreliance on convention are unlikely to draw new readers.

I just finished reading Diana Gabaldon's Voyager. It is my first book of hers and lo, I find that there are two others that preceed it! This story of Claire and Jamie set both in the 1960's and in the 1700's, is a great read for anyone that loves Scotland and Scottish history. The period comes to life and Claire's unique outlook is both funny and fascinating. Like Marion Zimmer-Bradley, Diana Gabaldon is able to transport us back in time, making it come alive, making the people seem real. I lost myself completely in this book and am now reading her first, Outlander. I am not disappointed! What a great author, I can hardly wait to see what happens next to those wonderful lovers, Jamie and Claire. Even my husband loves these books! There's something for everyone, adventure, fantasy, romance, history. Summer reading at its best!

It took some doing for my aunt to get me to pick up this series, but I am so thankful I did! I usually don't read romance novels, and since I thought this was one, I didn't want anything to do with it! I have seldom been so wrong! Gabaldon is able to craft a rich tapestry of charachters that you really care about, while keeping historical detail accurate and the plot moving. This series(especially Voyager)has something for everyone. I know men who enjoy theese books! For anyone who has doubts, bite the bullet and give it a try. You will be hooked!

Outlander,Drangonfly in Amber,Voyager, and Drums of Autumn ... well what can be said Diana Gabaldon has captured the heart of the reader by doing something so simple, by putting some heat into the books. You can tell the time and effort she has given to the writing of these books has paid off. They are all touching, heart warming, and real. They capture the true raw emotions of the reader and steal the reader's heart and soul. She makes us feel what the charactors are feeling. Any woman who has read one (if not all) of the novels will tell you that Jamie is her ideal man. Gabaldon makes him real, so strong yet so needy of Clair's love. I know many women that either have found (like me) or are looking for their "Jamie". This is not your traditional romance novel, or even historical fiction, it is a work of art. I would recomend this book for anyone who enjoys emotions, reading or love. LOVE is the theme of these novels; simple, wonderful, and perfect.

Bonking Scots
Already the third book of the series, and again it's only a variation of the known theme: the main characters trying to get into bed as often as possible. Lesen Sie weiter...
