An Echo in the Bone

"An Echo in the Bone" er den syvende bog i Diana Gabaldons episke Outlander-saga, der handler om sygeplejersken Claire fra det 20.århundrede, som er sendt tilbage i tiden til 1700-tallets Skotland. Jamie Fraser er en highlander fra det 18. århundrede, som modvilligt er blevet en rebel i den amerikanske revolution. Hans kone, Claire Randall Fraser, er en kirurg fra fremtiden. Hendes viden om, hvad der vil ske overbeviser ham om, at han skal deltage i kampen. Men der er ting som selv Claire umuligt kan vide. Med en fod i Skotland og en fod i Amerika, strækker Jamie og Claires eventyr sig fra den amerikanske revolution og søslag til møder med historiske figurer såsom Benjamin Franklin. "An Echo in the Bone" følger dog også Jamie og Claires datter, Brianna, der i 200 år ude i fremtiden oplever sine forældres trængsler gennem gemte breve.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The seventh book in Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series. "All you've come to expect from Gabaldon . . . adventure, history, romance, fantasy."-- The Arizona Republic Jamie Fraser, former Jacobite and reluctant rebel, is already certain of three things about the American rebellion: The Americans will win, fighting on the side of victory is no guarantee of survival, and he'd rather die than have to face his illegitimate son--a young lieutenant in the British army--across the barrel of a gun. Claire Randall knows that the Americans will win, too, but not what the ultimate price may be. That price won't include Jamie's life or his happiness, though--not if she has anything to say about it. Meanwhile, in the relative safety of the twentieth century, Jamie and Claire's daughter, Brianna, and her husband, Roger MacKenzie, have resettled in a historic Scottish home where, across a chasm of two centuries, the unfolding drama of Brianna's parents' story comes to life through Claire's letters. The fragile pages reveal Claire's love for battle-scarred Jamie Fraser and their flight from North Carolina to the high seas, where they encounter privateers and ocean battles--as Brianna and Roger search for clues not only to Claire's fate but to their own. Because the future of the MacKenzie family in the Highlands is mysteriously, irrevocably, and intimately entwined with life and death in war-torn colonial America.
