Plot Summary

Set in 18th century Scotland, Gabaldon's thrilling historical saga Outlander has bewitched fans worldwide. In this fourth installment of the Outlander series, we once again share the stories of Jamie and Clare as their romance travels across time into pre-Revolutionary America, where they attempt to build a new life together on the frontier of American soil.

This is the third time Claire has used the ancient stone to travel to the 18th century. First was when she fell in love and almost lost it in order to save their unborn child. The second, she reunited with her love but had to leave her daughter that would always feel fatherless. Now, Brianna, who is living in the 1960's, just might discover an obituary which will change her mind about her and her parents' history.

Diana Gabaldon was born in Arizona in 1952. Her novels are a blend of the romantic, historical, mystery, adventure and science fiction genres. Her degrees, including a Ph.D. are all in the biological sciences. She served as a full-time assistant professor at Arizona State in the Center for Environmental Studies, where she performed research and became an expert in scientific computing and databases, while also teaching university courses on anatomy. She has written multiple articles for computer science publications. With the finalization of her first book deal, she resigned as staff at the university. She lives with her husband in Arizona and has three adult children.

"Having seen the TV Series of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Books 1 & 2, and the audiobook of Book 3, I had to continue this wonderful saga with her Book 4 – Drums of Autumn. I love the way Diana's Scottish/ C18th English/Colonial American humour, intrigue, pathos & empathy is brought to life in Davina's audio performance. I find the story enthralling & enchanting as Diana's web-like connections both within & between Chapters, Sections & Books both fill-out & surprise me from the Plot Summaries that I have already read of all the Books (up to No. 8). This confirmed my decision of how much I needed to get these audiobooks in order to find some approximation of the TV Series' version of Book 1 & 2. I both can't wait & dearly hope that the visualisations of Books 3-8 will encompass the settings, characters, actions & emotions revealed in the audiobooks in their TV series that drew me in so inextricably with the first 2 Books' TV series."

Publisher Summary

Diana Gabaldon's fans will be delighted to find Jamie and Claire as spirited and endearing as ever in this fourth installment of this magnificent saga. Romance, history, and time travel blend once again as the couple builds a new life together in the wilderness of pre-Revolutionary America. Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century. The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The second time, twenty years later, she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history. Davina Porter's narrative talent adds a special vibrance and resonance to Gabaldon's complex, colorful characters. If you've experienced Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, or Voyager), you already know the length of the book is deceptive. None of them is nearly long enough.

    " Davina Porter brings to life characters of the story. Her ability to narrate the story with vividness not always found in audiobooks. The story itself stands alone as one of Diana Gaboldon's series of " Outlander" or as part of the entire group in this saga. Vivat to a great audiobook. "

    " I find Diana Gabaldon's series very compelling, and have not tired of reading it myself, watching the TV series, and now I am enjoying the storyline through Audio Books. It is a comforting thing to me to listen to a chapter before bed, to open my mind to other worlds in my dreams. "

    " This was the book that made me stop reading the Outlander series. I get that rape and racism were features of the time the book is set in, but the discussion of this sometimes felt unnecessarily egregious. I couldn't make it past the discussions of slavery, lynching, and racial prejudice. I'm not sure how I wish the author would have done this differently, but I think the way it reads now is unbearable. "

    " This is the 4th book in the Outlander series. Romance, adventure but in this book you have the first of the American history. Which I have to say I loved it! The history and making of a homestead. This my favorite of all the books to date! And finally Came meets his daughter Breanna! "

    " It's quite hard to describe the experience, but I can safely say that the brilliance of the narrator made a great novel greater. The voices of each character were clear. The characters themselves were well rounded. The insights in the middle of the novel makes you smile while thinking of there experiences and say Oh My... she got it right ... that's how it feels to be in love , worried , excited ... a mother. I definitely recommend this audio book. It will make any journey you take enjoyable. Absolutely love this series "

    " This book started off slowly and there was a point where I was not getting into the storyline. I even went so far as to start another book at one point, but then I came back to it and continued. I LOVED that Bree and Roger play a very central part in this book and I was looking forward to each chapter! I was even very disappointed when the book ended! So far this is my favorite book AFTER the first one. I hope her next one is just as good.... "

One of the things I did love was the growing relationship between Bree & Jamie, but I felt this eclipsed the original love story a bit. I love Claire and Jamie, so not seeing them together and having them supplanted by Bree & Roger is a little disheartening. But I still liked it and will continue the series. "
