Publisher's Summary

The author of the Sunday Times best-selling Outlander series returns with a brand new novel in the epic tale.

The past may seem the safest place to be...but it is the most dangerous time to be alive....

Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1743, and it took them 20 years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same.

It is 1779 and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband Roger and their children on Fraser's Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible.

Yet even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell's tea-kettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his tenants are split and it won't be long until the war is on his doorstep.

Brianna and Roger have their own worry: that the dangers that provoked their escape from the 20th century might catch up to them. Sometimes they question whether risking the perils of the 1700s - among them disease, starvation and an impending war - was indeed the safer choice for their family.

Not so far away, young William Ransom is still coming to terms with the discovery of his true father's identity - and thus his own - and Lord John Grey has reconciliations to make, and dangers to meet...on his son's behalf and his own. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser's Ridge. And with the family finally together, Jamie and Claire have more at stake than ever before.

Critic Reviews

"Gabaldon's vast and sweeping account of the war is so intricately plotted and peopled that one is amazed she could conceive and write it in only seven years." (Independent)

"Go Tell the Bees is packed with everything readers love about the Outlander series." (Guardian)

An awesome continuation of an epic adventure!

Absolutely loved Gabaldon's latest book from the Outlander Series. We got to learn so much more about so many of the beloved characters of Fraser's ridge while continuing the adventure with Claire and Jamie. Totally worth the read.

I'll have to re-listen...

Davina Porter is, as always, great! I really hoped this book would finish some of the story lines but it's just spun them longer and leaves you on another cliffhanger.

Couldn't Stop Listening

Davina Porter once again beautifully narrates Jamie and Claire's story as it continues against the backdrop of rebellion leading to American independence. Gabaldon writes her characters so well, and fleshes them out so that in each book it is like meeting old friends, and making new ones. Entirely invested in their stories, it was impossible to stop listening through all their joy, sadness, and fears as each chapter unfolded and we are transported to life in the late eighteenth century. It may have a good dose of fantasy writing, but it's entirely believable.

What a ride!

As far as sequels go, this one is something else. In true Diana Gabaldon style, all the usual elements are there and we are left with a hunger for more. Keep writing Diana!

Absolutely loved this one. Davina Porter, as always, made it come alive. Have really enjoyed all the books on the series so far. Hope another one follows soon.
