What if your future lay in the past?
1946, and Claire Randall goes to the Scottish Highlands with her husband Frank. It's a second honeymoon, a chance to re-establish their loving marriage.
But one afternoon, Claire walks through a circle of standing stones and vanishes into 1743, where the first person she meets is a British army officer - her husband's six-times great-grandfather.
Unfortunately, Black Jack Randall is not the man his descendant is, and while trying to escape him, Claire falls into the hands of a gang of Scottish outlaws, and finds herself a Sassenach - an outlander - in danger from both Jacobites and Redcoats.
Marooned amid danger, passion and violence, her only chance of safety lies in Jamie Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior.
What begins in compulsion becomes urgent need, and Claire finds herself torn between two very different men, in two irreconcilable lives…

Praise for the Outlander series:
Outlander truly is a phenomenon’ Sam Heughan
I challenge anyone to read just a few pages of this monumental book and not, within moments, disappear alongside Claire through the stones, to another time and place. I found myself 10 years ago, embarking on my Outlander TV journey. I was literally sucked into Diana’s dramatic story (the line between reality and fiction as fragile as the pages of this book, held between Jamie’s tapping finger and thumb). Only now, over a decade later, 8 seasons and 101 episodes of extraordinary Television, do I find myself with some sadness, looking back on this epic journey, yearning to do it all again. The joy of this book though, is that one can, simply by reading again… * Sam Heughan *
Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series has brought a touch of Caledonian magic to millions around the globe - and also brought so many fans to Scotland to explore the spectacular country that is my home. We readers, viewers and Scots are grateful to her for sharing her love of Scottish history and culture. Outlander remains a treasure to be enjoyed and shared. * Ian Rankin *
