Includes a preview of the new novel in the Outlander series.“This could be the worthy Lord John Grey’s breakout novel, as readers are treated to large dollops of Outlander hero Jamie Fraser. . . . The strong chemistry between these two stalwart, yet supremely dissimilar, protagonists crackles.”—Booklist   A captivating return to the world Diana Gabaldon created in her Outlander and Lord John series, The Scottish Prisoner is a masterpiece of epic history, wicked deceit, and scores that can only be settled in blood.   London, 1760. For Jamie Fraser, paroled prisoner-of-war, life is coming apart at the seams. In the remote Lake District, where he’s close enough to the son he cannot claim as his own, Jamie’s quiet existence is interrupted first by dreams of his lost wife, then by the appearance of an erstwhile comrade still fighting to rally the Irish. But Jamie has sworn off politics, fighting, and war. Until Lord John Grey shows up with a summons that will take him away from everything he loves—again. Lord John is in possession of explosive documents that expose a damning case of corruption against a British officer. But they also hint at a more insidious danger. Soon Lord John and Jamie are unwilling companions on the road to Ireland, a country whose dark castles hold dreadful secrets, and whose bogs hide the bones of the dead.   “Call it what you will—historical adventure, conspiracy thriller—it’s an engrossing story, masterfully paced, with exciting plot twists, swift reversals, and robust characterizations.”—The Globe and Mail   “A spirited return to the world first created in Outlander . . . This novel is, ultimately, an authentically fashioned historical mystery that allows the author to do what she does best: chronicle the lives of her characters with impeccable detail. . . . Gabaldon fans, you’ll find much to delight in here.”—Library Journal   “As always, Gabaldon goes above and beyond. . . . If you love historical fiction, this book could be a good entrance point into the Outlander world.”—Bookreporter

5.0 The Scottish Prisoner
I very much love JAMMF & LJG so getting a book that explains their relationship was wonderful. This is a must for anyone reading the Outlander or Lord John Grey series. ♡“Queen's knight," he said quietly. "To queen two." It was, he knew, a dangerous opening.” The story has not been told of exactly h...

4.0 The Scottish Prisoner [Diana Gabaldon]
Reading the last page of this one was kind of bittersweet. Not just because of the ending itself, but that this is the last book of this series. I've read most of the Outlander books already and reading this series has made me want to read them again. I have already planned on re-starting a few...

I just wasn't into The Scottish Prisoner as the rest of the Lord John Grey books. In fact, I thought that this installment focused more on Jamie rather than Lord John, which made me somewhat confused as this is a Lord John series book.The ending of The Scottish Prisoner aligns near the time Jamie le...

Audio Comments at the EndAs much as I love Lord John, I plowed through his series for this book. This is John and Jamie's book, as much as John and Jamie will ever have a book of their own, and it shows how their relationship begins to evolve into the loyal friendship they have throughout the later ...

Ah, Jamie. I know this is a Lord John book, but Jamie made it all that much better. I like Lord John, and I love how he's always trying to find the best outcome for everyone involved. It's the same in this story. I loved how he finally figured out Jamie's reason for returning to Helwater after being...
