In Voyager Claire and Brianna trace Jamie’s life since the battle of Culloden during the Scottish Rising.

The preceding novel, Dragonfly in Amber, ended with Claire and Brianna coming to grips with the truth of Brianna’s real father Jamie Fraser and Claire’s travel through time. The heroine of the bestselling Outlander, Claire, returns in Voyager as a mother to Brianna Ellen Randall and living in Boston in the year 1965. The storyline centers on a time-travelling 20th-century nurse (Claire Randall Fraser) and her 18th-century Scottish husband (Jamie Fraser), and are located in Scotland, France, and America. I thought Gabaldon did a great job merging all the lives and stories together and did so fairly quickly all things considering. I liked how the lives of the characters kind of culminated together by half way through. Some people argue that Book II was the least appealing in the series while others say Book III was…I can’t decided, both of these books were a struggle for me in some ways and for different reasons, though I favored Voyager more than DIA. Voyager is a little slow going at first as with any epic tale, the writer has a duty of sorts to remind the loyal readers where the proceeding book left off and Gabaldon does that by slowly catching up with the lives (20 years later) of Claire, Jamie, Frank, Rodger and Brianna, and Lord Grey. So let’s start with the basics….Voyager picks up where Dragonfly in Amber (Book II) leaves off, with the realization that Jamie is not dead and Claire left with a big question mark….what to do next?

So if you don’t want to know what’s going on then stop reading now. There is so much that happens in this book it is hard to know where to begin! Reader be warned, if you haven’t read the books up until now this post might contain spoilers. This morning I finished the third installment of the Outlander Series, Voyager by Diana Gabaldon.
