It’s absolutely awesome when I start one of Diana‘s books I can’t put them down. I am completely swept away in the way she writes and in the characters. I feel as though I am in the story itself seeing everything as she describes it feeling the emotions the waves of the boat the smells of the people in the bars the sounds of the horses. I feel like I’m living in the story itself. I love the outlander series and all of the Novelas that go with it.

Jamie Fraser is one of the best characters in the Outlander series. This novel takes place in 1760, 14 years after losing Claire. He is now on parole working in the stables of a friend of Lord John Grey. Lord Grey has a mysterious poem and information regarding a plot to overthrow King George II. There are accusations regarding a noble now in Ireland. Lord Grey and his brother enlist the help of Jamie in bringing the nobleman back to England and justice. There are twists and turns in the plot and the plot is woven into a history of the 18th century society. If you like Outlander, this is a similar pleasure.

wonderful!

Wonderful addition to the Outlander series, love all the novellas and extras.

Loved it! I'm an avid Diana G. Fan. Loved reading some of the detail of certain events mentioned in the Outland series that was not clarified lest there be too much detour from that story. This was a refreshing detour after the fact. I'm still completely in love with Jamie, even more so than Sir John is.

I really enjoyed the book. I thought it did a lot to fill in gaps in the story line regarding Jamie's relationship to Lord John and William. An enjoyable and relatively quick read. I highly recommend if you like the Lord John books, because that's what this is, regardless of the title.

People! This is a Lord John Grey book! Read the description!!! It's not a Jamie and Claire book! OMG! Obviously you people who are writing the bad reviews aren't die hard fans. The Lord John Grey books are another series that she has written. Get with the program! If you did read the John Grey series, you would find they are great books too, on their own merit. This is a great book!!!!! This is a great series!!!

Love her stories, love her characters!

This novella left me wanting more of Jamie Fraser, as usual. Very good short story. Highly recommend as a good read.

Awesome! Congratulations on another job well done! I have been reading Diana's work for 20 years and anxiously await every novel. For anyone who hasn't read the Outlander series, it's so worth your time. I cherish every one in my library. This novel being one of the Lord John Grey novels it has plenty of Jamie Fraser in it which was great! I feel every character She writes is so fascinating, whether you love or hate them they all come alive in the most entertaining way, and in our high tech, HD, instant gratification society that is a very impressive task anymore. Diana Gabaldon will be cherished as one of our century's most brilliant authors. She has such a gift of creatively melding historical fact and fictional characters, that they truly come alive and you end up genuinely caring for these people. She understands what every human needs, love AND adventure. I look forward to her next novel with the same anticipation I've had for each one published for 20 years! No one I have recommended her books to has ever come back disappointed. Thank you Diana for your brilliant work, you have an amazing talent and I hope you never stop writing as I will never stop reading and re-reading your wonderful books.

The underlying theme of the old poems that are combined as the Hunt make this book feel like more than just an adventure. Between the deep issues of honor, loyalty, and friendship the reader is aware of the constant movement of the poem. Can't wait for her next book!

This novel gives a great deal of background information about Jamie and events during Claire's absence.

Fantastic read. I enjoyed every page.

The best Lord John book yet!

Glad you wrote about Jamie's time while Claire was gone. I had long wondered what he was up to while Claire was raising Brianna.

Do not waste your time, huge waste of time. I have never,never been so disappointed in one of Gabaldons books.

Great book, even if it doesn't have Claire in it. Good job on the backstory of William, Lord John, and Jamie. I loved the previews of book eight and hope it will be here soon,

Great book, so very well written. Opening the book was like seeing old friends again.
