Synopsis
In this new epic of imagination, time travel, and adventure, Diana Gabaldon continues the riveting story begun in Outlander.
Jamie Fraser is an eighteenth-century Highlander, an ex-Jacobite traitor, and a reluctant rebel in the American Revolution. His wife, Claire Randall Fraser, is a surgeon—from the twentieth century. What she knows of the future compels him to fight. What she doesn't know may kill them both.
With one foot in America and one foot in Scotland, Jamie and Claire's adventure spans the Revolution, from sea battles to printshops, as their paths cross with historical figures from Benjamin Franklin to Benedict Arnold.
Meanwhile, in the relative safety of the twentieth century, their daughter, Brianna, and her husband experience the unfolding drama of the Revolutionary War through Claire's letters. But the letters can't warn them of the threat that's rising out of the past to overshadow their family.
Diana Gabaldon's sweeping Outlander saga reaches new heights in An Echo in the Bone.

Reviews
So many of the pages in this book were wasted! I couldnt wait to finish and be done with this installment in the Outlander Series. There were too many war scenes. I felt I needed to have read the John Grey Series of books to truly understand what was happening with him and his MAJOR story line. And why wasnt more of the book dedicated to the four main timetravelers? I finally got excited in the last 150 pages but, I soon realized that the best part of this book was only a setup for her next book. I felt a small betrayal by a book written as a puff up of the authors ego. Nearly every character was left hanging in the air. Good thing I read this now and not when it came out to wait three years until the next book came. I love this whole series, but this book did not expand the main storyline. A whole lot of nothing significant happened excluding the part written as a justification for another book!
