About this product

Product Information

Includes a preview of the new novel in the Outlander series. London, 1760. For Jamie Fraser, paroled prisoner-of-war in the remote Lake District, life could be worse: He's not cutting sugar cane in the West Indies, and he's close enough to the son he cannot claim as his own. But Jamie Fraser's quiet existence is coming apart at the seams, interrupted first by dreams of his lost wife, then by the appearance of Tobias Quinn, an erstwhile comrade from the Rising. Like many of the Jacobites who aren't dead or in prison, Quinn still lives and breathes for the Cause. His latest plan involves an ancient relic that will rally the Irish. Jamie is having none of it--he's sworn off politics, fighting, and war. Until Lord John Grey shows up with a summons that will take him away from everything he loves--again. Lord John Grey--aristocrat, soldier, and occasional spy--finds himself in possession of a packet of explosive documents that exposes a damning case of corruption against a British officer. But they also hint at a more insidious danger. Time is of the essence as the investigation leads to Ireland, with a baffling message left in "Erse," the tongue favored by Scottish Highlanders. Lord John, who oversaw Jacobite prisoners when he was governor of Ardsmiur prison, thinks Jamie may be able to translate--but will he agree to do it? Soon Lord John and Jamie are unwilling companions on the road to Ireland, a country whose dark castles hold dreadful secrets, and whose bogs hide the bones of the dead. A captivating return to the world Diana Gabaldon created in her Outlander and Lord John series, The Scottish Prisoner is another masterpiece of epic history, wicked deceit, and scores that can only be settled in blood.

You'll read it more than once.
Lord John is a wonderful man and all the books are exciting to read. Diana Gabaldon has become over the years my favorite author, and the Lord John spin-offs are as good as their source, the Outlander series. Jamie Fraser has a notable role in this book.

Excellent book, but big stickers all over the dust jacket. Huge ones.
I have read this book several times. And it’s a favorite- but huge stickers are all over the hardcover. Not exactly great on the shelf with a huge yellow sticker over binding.

Spin off series of the Oulander series
This is the latest in a series [four so far] centering around Lord John from Gabaldons' Oulander series. Diana is a good writer and has combined Scottish history and ways in an entertaining way with a dash of mysticism [how can you have anything of the Celts without it] and her own characters some of which hysterically funny in personalities and situations and in not so funny situations. Culloden struck a cord with me as I can remember tales of my fathers fathers ancestor with either other clan members or friend escaping to France with prices on their heads dressed as women [they had to be really young considering how hairy Scots can be] then from there to Louisiana and hiding there and then Texas before it was Texas until after the civil war. After reading her books and checking ... This is the latest in a series [four so far] centering around Lord John from Gabaldons' Oulander series.

After reading her books and checking historicals it made allot more sense. The family name is part of the memorial. Some times she gets a bit tedious but if you stick through the parts that seem monotonous you are rewarded with some great parts later on. This series is geared more towards mystery and I would recommend it after reading the Outlander ones.

Great companion to the Outlander Series
I bought this book because I am a huge fan of the Outlander series of books. I enjoyed it because it gave me some more insight in to Jamie Frasier and his relationship with Lord John Grey and his brother Hal. I'm not sure that I would have enjoyed it as much if it was the only book that I had read, although I was intrigued by the various adventures of the characters.

Must for Outlander Fans and Great Installment in Lord John series
I am a fan of both the Outlander and Lord John Grey series so I was eager to grab up this book that is a crossover in a way as it is the 3.0 book in the Lord John Grey series and falls chronologically during the years in Voyager book three of the Outlander series. The plot is a continuation of the Lord John Grey plot threads, but it also alternates narration between John and Jamie. The story continues a thread begun in A Custom of the Army novella from the Lord John Grey series and also fits chronologically during Voyager in the Outlander series. John and his brother, Hal the Duke of Pardloe, are planning to see Major Sniverly court-martialed for his thievery of army stores and lies about Carruthers, John's friend's character. In the process of going through Carruthers papers, they ... I am a fan of both the Outlander and Lord John Grey series so I was eager to grab up this book that is a crossover in a way as it is the 3.0 book in the Lord John Grey series and falls chronologically during the years in Voyager book three of the Outlander series. The plot is a continuation of the Lord John Grey plot threads, but it also alternates narration between John and Jamie. The story continues a thread begun in A Custom of the Army novella from the Lord John Grey series and also fits chronologically during Voyager in the Outlander series. John and his brother, Hal the Duke of Pardloe, are planning to see Major Sniverly court-martialed for his thievery of army stores and lies about Carruthers, John's friend's character. In the process of going through Carruthers papers, they come across an odd poem about The Wild Hunt written in Erse. This odd clue leads to something much more complicated than the need to bring a thief to justice and it brings Jamie Fraser closely into Lord John's company again. John isn't easy about this after the way he left things with Fraser during their last encounter at Helwater. Jamie finds himself blackmailed into assisting the Grey brothers with their quest even though he isn't personally vested in their cause. Or that is until he reads the Wild Hunt poem and encounters an old friend from his Jacobite days that shares about another Jacobite plot afoot. His situation doesn't set easy on him. Jamie's honor, duty and loyalties are pulled in two directions. He navigates the intrigues and going on seeking to keep his oaths and promises hoping to keep his conscience clear. While he accompanies Lord John, Jamie's thoughts drift to his wife and unknown child, his family at Lallybroch and his son at Helwater. In the end, he must figure out where his loyalties truly lay and make the decisions accordingly. As I said, I was eager to get a book that filled in a bit of Jamie's story during his time away from Claire at Helwater. I also like the dynamics of the enemy-friend thing going on between John and Jamie. The intrigue and twisting plot was definitely a plus to the strong character development. I love the mysteries that always accompany the Lord John stories. The story gets off to a slow start as it sets up for what is to come and seems to be checking in with all the key players like a reunion of sorts. Then it picks up speed and gets thrilling in spots. This was the longest of the Lord John novels and had the most recurring characters moving through it. I have seen in a few places where it is said that the Lord John series can be read in any order. I'm going to say differently. As far as I'm concerned, the Lord John series really needs to be read in order. I read them in order and they do build on each other. This book is proof of that as there are mentions of several people and events from the earlier stories and there are plotlines that carry over through a few of them particularly the thing with the Twelvetrees family, the hostile situation between John and Jamie and even John's friendship with Stephan. Now not to say that a person would be hopelessly lost if they grabbed this one up without reading all the other Lord John books, but they would miss out on a deeper experience. As to other details about this book, I did enjoy the extra details in Hal and Minnie's courtship and marriage. Their coming together deserves a story in its own right. I was also taken with the descript
