About this audiobook

Diana Gabaldon’s immensely popular Outlander saga soars to new heights with
this seventh novel, which takes listeners on a breathtaking journey to 1777
America.
Jamie Fraser knows from his time-traveling wife, Claire, that, no matter how
unlikely it seems, America will win the Revolutionary War. But that truth offers
little solace, since Jamie realizes he might find himself pointing a weapon directly
at his own son—a young officer in the British army. And Jamie isn’t the only one
with a tormented soul—for Claire may know who wins the conflict, but she
certainly doesn’t know whether or not her beloved Jamie survives.
Epic in scope and featuring a colorful cast that includes many legendary figures—
including hero-turned-traitor Benedict Arnold and bawdy statesman Benjamin
Franklin—An Echo in the Bone is a thrill from start to finish.

This whole series is the best thing I've ever read or heard. I'm a voracious reader so that is saying something! Diana Gabalden writes characters so well, that they quickly become like family and loved ones. The plot is unique and vastly entertaining! Full of adventure,romance,action,and history,these novels hit every taste bud of the heart and mind! I have never felt the need nor desire to reread any book. However, I have up to date, reread this series twice and am in process of listening to the audiobook form. The actor who reads this series is marvellous! She gives each character their own voice that is realistically accented and toned. You almost don't need the, 'he saids","she saids", that keep written dialogue from becoming confusing. I dislike having to describe what these books are about when i recommend them because i can't adequately describe the story line. It is so much more than "a historical romance about time travel". It sound cheap and typical which is far from true. happy reading!
