"The entire "Lord John" series is wonderful, but only if you enjoyed the Outlander Series. Lord John is a character in the Outlander series and his own series would not be as good if one does not have the background of the thousands of pages in the Outlander series. If you have a few hundred hours to spend reading, I would highly recommend you read them ALL in order! I loved both series! Gabaldon researches and brings history to life like no other author I have ever read!"

Quotes

  • “It takes a talented and clever writer to move a secondary character (one some might consider unlikable) into the limelight and leave readers eager for more. That’s what Gabaldon has done with Lord John, a complex character torn between good and evil, loyalty and desire, country and family. Through him, Gabaldon takes us into the eighteenth century and fires our imagination.”

    " I really like Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series which led me to read this Lord John Grey series. This compilation was well read however I Prefer Davina Porter's way of reading. This narrator reads a bit to effeminate for me, I know that LJG is gay and that is fine i just don't read him sounding quite that way. "

    " I listened to this on a plug 'n play. 1750's homosexual in the British regiments. Had me guessing for a while-would this woman be writing about a historical type homosexual? Well, if its a market untapped. There were three stories all together and all were mysteries. OK to pass the time in the car "

    " i like how these books tie into the big jamie and claire stories... having read all 7 of them, it is neat to see how some of these other characters have been lurking just outside their lives...
