The book I received was in great condition. I love Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. You receive an excellent history lesson through the lives of these dynamic characters through this author's meticulous research of the time. The setting is 18th century Scotland and the struggle between Scotland and England; it continues into the New World (America) and the struggle for independence there. The characters are well developed with the central characters being Scottsman Jamie Fraser and Englishwoman Claire Randall (who happens to be a time traveler from the twentieth century.) I was hooked on their story from the first page. I am not usually a fan of sci-fi or fantasy, but this story is completely realistic (aside from how Claire came to be part of this adventure). This is a 9 book collection of very large books and I cannot get enough of this story.Read full review

So far book 4 and now book 5 (the Fiery Cross) have been my favorites of the series, slowing down and re establishing the relationship between Claire & Jamie, but also allowing us to get to know Bree & Roger. I also LOVE the wild America she paints with her knowledge of history. I almost feel like I have been there. Hope it continues the feel of these two for awhile more. I have relished every word, and find myself slowing down now that there are only twenty pages left, so it won't be over.

I love this series. It is so well written and such a good story. The characters grab you and keep you wanting to know what happens to them next. The books have interwoven the stories, in such a complex manner that you will be picking out threads from all books. Start with the first book "Outlander", watch the TV show and enjoy the journey.

This series is my all time favorite. The fiery cross is book # 2 oUT of 8 (so far). I somehow lost my original copy and was just replacing it with this purchase.
