Voyager by Diana Gabaldon

After reading Outlander: with Bonus Content, the first book in the series, I reserved the next two books at the Library. Voyager (Outlander), the third book in the series, was the first to become available, so I read it out of sequence. I have been enrapt as I read the story of Claire and Jamie Fraser, amazing main characters from different centuries; who find love, romance, adventure, and excitement as they travel throughout Europe, across the Atlantic, and through the Caribbean. Diana Gabaldon is an amazing author, who thoroughly researched the contents of the medical, historical, religious, geographical, and cultural aspects of her fascinating characters' stories. This series is so good that I went to the used bookstore and bought several books in the series so that I can continue to follow the amazing adventure.

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon's books had been recommended to me for a very long time; but I thought the series wasn't in a genre that I would be interested in reading. Boy, was I wrong. This book, Outlander: with Bonus Content has kept me up late into the nights, reading with fascination and deep caring for the dramatic lives of Claire and Jamie and their adventures in 18th century Scotland. What a great writer Diana Gabaldon is! Now I'm hooked, and I can't imagine leaving the next book in the Outlander series unread.
