 Fantastic Series of Stories May 31, 2008
wicket2005 (England)
Diana Gabaldon writes a terrific time travelling story about Claire (from modern times) and Jamie (from an earlier times) and their adventures together.
This is the third book in the series and I have read all the books. I am currently eagerly awaiting the next book which Diana keeps promising will be soon.
Though Claire has time travelled to the past, that is where the majority of the story is based so please don't get the impression they are both jumping through time. Claire and Jamie experience the historial events that are happening at that time.
I can thoroughly recommend this series of books to you.
 Where the Jamie & Claire series goes off the rails May 26, 2008

I really enjoyed Crosstitch and loved Dragonfly in Amber, but this third outing for J&C is disappointing overall. The first third is good but once J&C are reunited, the plot goes mad and they're rushing around being chased by crocodiles and assorted villains... I have to confess that while I've read the remaining three novels in the series, I don't think they're a patch on the first two, and this is the pivotal book where the rot sets in. I know many die-hard J&C fans will disagree (which is fine) but for anyone contemplating the series, I would heartily recommend the first two books, and you need to read at least the start of this one after the wrneching ending to Amber, but after that I would do what I believe Gabaldon should have done - let the series rest at a high-point and move on to the Lord John books instead where Gabaldon's imagaination seems revitalised.

I was fortunate when I first started reading Diana Gabaldon's intriguing series; fortunate, I say, because the first three books were already available, so I didn't suffer quite so terribly from Claire and Jamie withdrawal. From the moment I picked up "Outlander" I knew that I was reading what perhaps in time will (and should) become the standard for romance, although it is erroneous to categorize Gabaldon's works as simply being "romance". The ongoing saga of the Frasers is enjoyable regardless of what genre you prefer. Diana is just that good. But I digress...
In the third installment of the series, Doctor Claire Randall is vacationing in 1968 Scotland when she discovers that her husband, Jamie Fraser, who she thought was killed during the battle of Culloden, has in fact survived and is alive and well...in 1765. With the aid of their daughter, Brianna, and young historian Roger Wakefield, Claire arranges for the most difficult--and the most rewarding--undertaking of her life: reuniting with Jamie after twenty years of separation.
Full of surprising twists as well as the emotional depth and historical accuracy one has come to expect from Diana Gabaldon, "Voyager" is a novel that stands on its own, which is how a good novel is written, whether or not it is part of a series!!! And if you missed Tino Georgiou's--The Fates--I strongly recommend reading it.

This was the best of her novels so far. I read it cover to cover really quickly and couldn't put it down. My husband was amazed as he said he's never seen me so engrossed in a book before as I apparently was with this one. I really enjoyed Cross Stitch and Dragonfly in Amber but this was hard to put down. I can't wait to go out and buy the next installment. Sorry hubbie if our love life is suffering but I just can't resist!!!
