With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result will be independence - with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile.

For once, he hopes, his time-traveling family may be wrong about the future. From the Hardcover edition.

  • Wonderful larger paperback version in excellent shape

    Love this book. I read it a few years ago but wanted the larger paperback version for ease of reading. The Outlander series is a wonderful epic.

  • Woops

    It’s soft cover full size (I wanted regular paperback). Has nothing to do with the content tho. It’s an excellent book if you’re reading the series!

  • what you see is what you get

    The book cover is a little tattered, but there is nothing wrong with the pages. The price, with shipping, was more than fair for a used book. This book is a good read; definitely one of the more exciting chapters in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.
