The Fiery Cross -- Diana Gabaldon

<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER - The fifth book in Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series.</b> <p/> <b>"A grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries]."--CNN</b> <p/>The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser's wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy--a time-traveler's certain knowledge. <p/>Born in the year of Our Lord 1918, Claire Randall served England as a nurse on the battlefields of World War II, and in the aftermath of peace found fresh conflicts when she walked through a cleftstone on the Scottish Highlands and found herself an outlander, an English lady in a place where no lady should be, in a time--1743--when the only English in Scotland were the officers and men of King George's army. <p/>Now wife, mother, and surgeon, Claire is still an outlander, out of place, and out of time, but now, by choice, linked by love to her only anchor--Jamie Fraser. Her unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead--or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Diana Gabaldon<br><b>Publisher:</b> Delta<br><b>Published:</b> 10/01/2002<br><b>Pages:</b> 1008<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>We
