  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;New York Times &lt;/i&gt; bestselling author Diana Gabaldon mesmerized readers with her award-winning &lt;i&gt;Outlander&lt;/i&gt; novels, four dazzling tales featuring eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his twentieth-century time-traveling wife, Claire Randall.  Now, in this eagerly awaited fifth volume, Diana Gabaldon continues their extraordinary saga, a masterpiece of pure storytelling that is her most astonishing &lt;i&gt;Outlander&lt;/i&gt; novel yet...

&lt;b&gt;The Fiery Cross&lt;/b&gt;
The year is 1771,, and war is coming.  Jamie Fraser's wife tells him so.  Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy--a time-traveler's certain knowledge.  Claire's unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead--or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes...</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was another solid entry in this series, though I think this is the first one I’ve read that hasn’t reduced me to a blubbering mess at one point or another. However, the lack of extreme emotion doesn’t take anything away from the story. It seems that life has fallen into a sort of routine ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2493481">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one is definitely the slowest of her books, but the characters are so great that you don't mind too much.  As with the others, I highly recommend the audiobook version - especially if you've already read her books and want to go back for a re-read.  There's so much added to the books by the gre...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43020221">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book felt more like a series of slice-of-life blurbs than a cohesive narrative.  Not to say that any of Ms. Gabaldon's books have a very clear central conflict, but this one was even more meandering than any of the earlier books in the Outlander series, which is a little unfortunate given the 1...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66042391">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I can get lost in the life of Jamie and Claire. I can see myself right next to them at one of their havesting feasts. More so in the bed of Jamie Fraser's! :) I love their tale of trial and love. The unexpected surprises of the 1700's. This is a really really great series.

    <body><![CDATA[I love Jamie and Claire. I really do. But this book just takes their story way past its natural stopping point. And so their story is reduced to: “Today I churned butter…Jamie killed a deer today…and now we are going to make love by the fire.” Take these lines and multiply them by 1000 pages...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56860389">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was a little disappointed in this book.  It seemed to me like it was 1500 pages of nothing happening.  I began to feel a little less than enthused when 300 pages in we're STILL on the last day/night of the gathering.  Plot drivers seem few and far between and when you finally get toward the end wh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62334503">more...</a>]]></body>
