false 2832909 13 <b>The Seventh Outlander novel from #1 National Bestselling author Diana Gabaldon.</b> Jamie Fraser, erstwhile Jacobite and reluctant rebel, knows three things about the American rebellion: the Americans will win, unlikely as that seems in 1778; being on the winning side is no guarantee of survival; and he’d rather die than face his illegitimate son — a young lieutenant in the British Army — across the barrel of a gun. Fraser’s time-travelling wife, Claire, also knows a couple of things: that the Americans will win, but that the ultimate price of victory is a mystery. What she does believe is that the price won’t include Jamie’s life or happiness — not if she has anything to say. Claire’s grown daughter Brianna, and her husband, Roger, watch the unfolding of Brianna’s parents’ history — a past that may be sneaking up behind their own family. 2859015 book 22 9 2009 An Echo in the Bone (Outlander, #7) total:967|5:438|4:335|3:156|2:28|1:10| 967 4064 3851 454 3 18 false false Tue Sep 29 08:41:02 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 09 16:50:19 -0800 2009 I actually skipped pages!
