Diana Gabaldon, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Outlander saga and a Quill Award winner, delivers a treat for her many fans - a collection of three novellas starring the ever-popular Lord John Grey.

In these tales, Lord John vows to avenge a murder, investigates a terrifying "night-hag" on the battlefields of Europe, and discovers treason in His Majesty's ranks.

"Gabaldon brings an effusive joy to her fiction." (Publishers Weekly)

"Gabaldon's strengths are on full display....Deftly written, pleasantly concise stories about the ghosts of desire, each with its own discrete merits." (Kirkus Reviews)

I couldn't leave the world of Outlander. This little book kept me involved for a couple more nights.

Short stories are not my cup of tea. Still, the three stories included kept my interest until the end.

Jeff Woodman, the narrator, held his own covering the characters and most especially our Lord John.

Diana Gabaldon's wonderful writing and wit show throughout this book. And it did keep me in the Outlander world, sans time travel.

It is worth the read.

Overall, the stories are pretty good. They just don’t read like the Outlander books do🤔... almost as if Diana Gabaldon didn’t write it, or maybe she was just trying a different style of write🤷‍♀️

It’s pretty good!

The editor of the audio recording should be fired. There were a lot of instances where the reader repeated himself and those portions should have been deleted during editing. It was common enough to become annoying. It's almost as if no one ever listened to this after recording. The performance by the reader himself was fine. I blame the editor.

Love the story, but the editing of the audio...

A must-read for any Outlander fan, since it fills in some details about Lord John for the later books.

Enjoyable story that fills in some background

The more stories I hear the more Lord John and his adventures continue to impress. He is such a great character and I am always grateful to know that he and Jamie end up to have such a great "plutonic" relationship. I look forward to the rest of the Lord John stories, I've yet to hear and so appreciate that they are numbered so I know what order to listen in. I am also a big fan of Lord John's valet Tom Bird, such a great team.

Love Lord John!

What about Jeff Woodman’s performance did you like?

I think Jeff Woodman does a great job with all of the character accents. You forget after a while that there is in fact only one person speaking. My one criticism, however, is that there were four separate glitches in the reading of the stories. Three phrases were repeated and there was one short section that must have been recorded at a later date because the sound quality was noticeable different. They didn't impact the overall story, but they were noticeable enough that I felt I should comment.

Any additional comments?

Overall the stories are good. Not as compelling as some of the other Lord John novellas, but still entertaining.

Entertaining, but a few glitches

Lord John grey - the most interesting man in the 18th century. You have to love him, woman or man.

If I can't have Jamie and Clarie...

Lord John Gray is a minor character in the Outlander series...yet he is also important to the main characters. Think of him as the supporting actor who holds the cast to the storyline and keeps them true to the piece. Here, he is the main character, and he SHINES!!!

three novellas...short and sweet!
