For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning to the majesty of Scotland's mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal the truth about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones, about a love that transcends the boundaries of time, and about James Fraser, a warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.

      This immensely long, compulsively readable sequel to Outlander follows time-traveler Claire Randall and her 18th-century Scottish husband, James Fraser, to the court of Louis XV in 1744, as they seek to forestall the disaster due to overtake the Scottish Highlands at the battle of Culloden Moor the following year. Having learned from Claire about the forthcoming disaster, James, the son of a Highland chief, gains Prince Charles's friendship in order to subtly sabotage Jacobite efforts to raise funds for an invasion of Britain. When James is banished after dueling with his nemesis, Jack Randall, ancestor of Claire's modern-day husband, he and Claire leave France convinced they have accomplished their purpose. They settle back in Scotland, looking forward to peace, only to learn of Prince Charles's landing in Scotland and his signing of James's name to a declaration of the Stewart right to rule, effectively forcing the couple to the Jacobite cause and a fate they are unable to prevent. Portraying life in court and hut and on the battlefield through the eyes of a strong-minded, modern participant, Gabaldon offers a fresh and offbeat historical view, framed by an intriguing contemporary issue of Claire's daughter's paternity.

      In the second book of the Outlander series, Claire and Jamie desperately try to prevent the Battle of Culloden and foil the plans of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Davina Porter is perfect as narrator and performer, bringing laughter and a multitude of emotions to her characters and to her listeners. As Claire and Jamie experience French society, the good, bad and ugly, Porter brings Gabaldon's world to life, complete with sounds, smells and not a little blood. The adventures will continue to echo in your mind long after this tale ends. M.B.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
