Diana Gabaldon is the New York Times bestselling author of Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn. A masterful novel of passion and a love spanning centuries, The Fiery Cross is the highly anticipated, triumphant continuation of the phenomenally popular Outlander series.

Eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his 20th-century time-travelling wife, Claire Randall, have emigrated to the beautiful countryside of the Royal Colony of North Carolina. The year is now 1771, and dissidents are stirring throughout the American colonies. Claire forewarns James of the impending war and the dangers it may bring to their clan. Will her knowledge of America’s tumultuous revolution be enough to guide them through a dangerously uncertain future?

Featured Article: The Best Women Narrators to Listen to Right Now


One of the biggest questions listeners have when it comes to approaching a new audiobook is whether or not they'll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable, as audiobooks are at least a few hours long (with many clocking in at 20 hours long—or more!), and sticking with one person's voice for that time period can feel like a big commitment. We rounded up some of the best female narrators with a robust list of audiobooks under their belts.

I had checked this audiobook via Interlibrary Loan from my local library (who had to get it from another state for the record), because the Unabridged Version was not available at the time (seemed like forever!). So, Thank You SOOO MUCH for being so extremely prompt about putting this out here for us as soon as you could!!! I use Audible through my Kindle, and I'm a happy reader/listener. Verra Happy!

Thank YOU!!!!

Great big exhaustive books, this series is LONG. This one is number 5 in a series of, I think it's up to 8 by now. So why keep reading? Gabaldon is a fabulous author. She must be to hold anyone's attention that long. Yes, there are times that I feel like I have "read that already," but she has a way of creating twists in the plot that just keep you going. I am not a series kind of reader. Just don't want to commit to that much time. But I didn't know this was a series until I had read/listened to the first one, my favorite so far, btw (It was my first Audible book). I will finish the series, but not all at once. I probably won't get around to #6 until next summer. But I'll look forward to it then.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars as a story and overall is because it is just so long. And the repetitious nature of certain things, like the "love making." I mean, really, 5 times in a 36 hour period? And these people are nearing 50? My brain just can't handle that.

As always, Davina Porter's narration is as good as it gets. She is part of the magic in this series.

Worth continuing the series

I couldn't wait until this unabridged book came out, so I bought the actual book and read it with Davina Porter's brilliant performance voice in my head!

So just today, when I saw that The Fiery Cross is finally available, I snapped it up!

Okay, Okay, I haven't even listened to it yet, but who cares? I know it's wonderful and I will totally enjoy hearing what I already read.

Thank you, Audible!

FINALLY!!

This book is back to the grand read of the initial books in the series. The author continues to intrigue us with Jamie and Clair and other characters, although I must say their daughter Brianna and her husband Roger are among my least favorite. I find Brianna annoying, and Roger neutral at best, but it is a great series and worth the investment.

I listen to an average of 100 books a year, and the Outlander books are some of my most favorite! I find myself going back and listening (they have to be fantastic for me to want to re-listen) time and again. Davina Porter does a brilliant job with the narration!

GREAT!

Have listened to all Diana's books (twice)- including the abridged version (hated it). The detail and depth of her stories are what makes them so great, not to mention Davina's wonderful narration. I am in love with Jaime- and appreciate the research that went into the historical part of the novels. Would love for this series to go on forever. Great listen and well worth the credit!

LOVE THIS

Davina Porter has nuance for every accent, gender, and mood. She remembers every character and brings Diana Gabaldon’s imagination to life. I’m listening to the whole series for the second time (and I NEVER do that)!

Incredible Narrator!

Another well-written novel, so well narrated by Porter. Her voices bring each character to life, lifting them effortlessly off the page and right into the room with me. I will happily listen to anything Porter reads, but I so enjoy listening to her read these stories in particular.

Beautifully talented narration...

Love it!

I love this book, obviously, since it's my third time through, the first two times having been via the hardback route.

Doubtlessly, considering the length, it took me quite some time to finish. But with bluetooth headphones, it became an old friend that kept me company while doing housework and on a few long drives over the holidays.

Among my favorite moments, without giving away a spoiler, are the buffalo hunting events, Snake Town, and naturally the triple climax of Wylie Landing, wax myrtle berry picking, and the final revelation of Jocasta's secret.

The ending is also wonderful, the last line being an award winner, and the revelations all being so neatly wrapped up that it could almost complete the series. But no, after thinking about it for a couple of days, there are still things to be resolved.

I find this book much easier to consume as an audible, since it doesn't require eyes and hands and i can do other things simultaneously as mentioned previously. I find myself wondering how long it took for Ms. Porter to record it. It must be difficult to keep straight so many voices and accents. She clearly doesn't even attempt Brianna's Boston/American accent, which is better than butchering it. I doubt anyone could do better, and I've made friends with her narration as well, having gone through the previous book twice and, while I'm waiting for another credit to listen to the next book in the v series, I think I'll just go through this one again.

A Favorite
