Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord . . . 1743.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire—and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander novels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Marvelous and fantastic adventures, romance, sex . . . perfect escape reading.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e on \u003ci\u003eOutlander\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “History comes deliciously alive on the page.”\u003cb\u003e—New York \u003ci\u003eDaily News\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eon\u003ci\u003e Outlander\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Gabaldon is a born storyteller. . . .
