  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;The Seventh Outlander novel from #1 National Bestselling author Diana Gabaldon.&lt;/b&gt;

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&#8217;d rather die than face his illegitimate son &#8212; a young lieutenant in the British Army &#8212; across the barrel of a gun. Fraser&#8217;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&#8217;t include Jamie&#8217;s life or happiness &#8212; not if she has anything to say.

Claire&#8217;s grown daughter Brianna, and her husband, Roger, watch the unfolding of Brianna&#8217;s parents&#8217; history &#8212; a past that may be sneaking up behind their own family.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[It was really nice to catch up with Jamie and Claire again.  I find they have become real life characters to me and I miss them when they aren't around.  That being said, I have to say there are parts of this book that could have been edited. I was a little disappointed as well because I really thou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67828163">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Well, Diana is in good form in this one, even if it is a bit choppy with all the changing of POV.  Lots of action both in Revolutionary War America and 1980's Scotland.  And then there's that excruciating cliff hanger of an ending (or set of endings---).  <br/><br/>Those who have read the Lord Joh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68842780">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I gave 3 stars only because of the series itself. Was very disappointed in the storyline. Wanted more on the characters and less on the war. Not to give anything away, very disappointed on their return to Scotland and what occured there!!

    <body><![CDATA[I love the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon; so much so that I have purchased the last couple in hardcover the minute they hit the shelves.  An Echo in the Bone is the latest in the series.  Unfortunently, Echo doesn't deliver the best of Gabaldon (though my sister-in-law points out that Gabaldon ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78202373">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had a lot of hope when I started Echo in the Bone, I really and truly did. Perhaps this one, #7 in what's beginning to be an endless series, would not be filled with: 1.) Descriptions of Jamie's red hair and long, straight nose. 2.)

    <body><![CDATA[Is this a good book? Yes. A great book? Yes, but it's got flaws. It's slow getting started. Really improbable in certain major plot threads. As noted by other reviewers, the author introduces plot lines and doesn't resolve them by the book's end. Her editor seems to have gone to sleep in certain pla...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77351338">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am an Outlander series fan. Yes I am. I love Jamie (to an embarrasing extent), Claire and the whole cast of random modern and 18th C. characters that fill the many, many pages of Gabaldon's books. While not fine literature, I can always count on her great storytelling to completely draw me into he...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77136762">more...</a>]]></body>
