Amazon.com Review
Set in pre-Revolutionary War America, readers finally have the much awaited fourth book in what will probably become a six book series (The Outlander series). The talented Diana Gabaldon continues Claire and Jamie's romantic love affair, and introduces Brianna and Roger's story. Eight hundred pages, and several wonderful new characters later, we wonder why we were waiting for a conclusion. It'll be a long wait for book five, so I recommend you go back and reread Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, and Voyager to keep yourself sane.
Product Description
In this breathtaking novel—rich in history and adventure—The New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon continues the story of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser that began with the now-classic novel Outlander and continued in Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager. Once again spanning continents and centuries, Diana Gabaldon has created a work of sheer passion and brilliance....
It began at an ancient Scottish stone circle. There, a doorway, open to a select few, leads into the past—or the grave. Dr. Claire Randall survived the extraordinary passage, not once but twice.
Her first trip swept her into the arms of Jamie Fraser, an eighteenth-century Scot whose love for her became a legend—a tale of tragic passion that ended with her return to the present to bear his child. Her second journey, two decades later, brought them together again in the American colonies. But Claire had left someone behind in the twentieth century—their daughter, Brianna....
Now Brianna has made a disturbing discovery that sends her to the circle of stones and a terrifying leap into the unknown. In search of her mother and the father she has never met, she is risking her own future to try to change history ... and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past ... or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong....

 Outlander September 13, 2008
Great Book once you get through the first 100 pages or so, then I couldn't put it down. The love between these two characters (Jamie and Claire) is amazing.
Drums of Autumn September 8, 2008
Need to read the series in order. A wonderful treat of six large novels following each other, that makes for many hours of great reading.
spellbound August 20, 2008
What can I say about Diana's fourth outlander series. I was truly spellbound. I can not wait to get my hands on the Fiery Cross. I can't wait to find out what more could possibly happen to Claire and Jamie. What an amazing love story!!!
great August 7, 2008

This is some of the best historical fiction I have ever read. I'm re-reading the entire series.

Diana Gabaldon is an amazing story teller. I really enjoyed this the fourth installment in the Outlander series.
I don't know what I could say about this book that someone hasn't already said. I will add my two cents and say that I like the character Brianna. I think that it's important to put into perspective that she comes from a time when people aren't considered adults at the ripe old age of seventeen. And she has been given a lot to deal with in a short period of time, she seems a bit impulsive and immature but she's twenty two years old...
I enjoyed the love story between Brianna and Rodger and the adventures in Drums were just as exciting as all the others.
I am hooked! I will be reading ALL of the books in the series! It's wonderful escapist adventure with a fabulous background in historical fiction.
If anyone knows if there are more books coming out after Snow and Ashes will you let me know...I read in The Outlandish Companion that Gabaldon was going to publish a prequel to Outlander and I tried to find out more but couldn't.
