{"product_id":"0385340397-a_breath_of_snow_and_ashes6","title":"A Breath of Snow and Ashes: 6","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003eEagerly anticipated by her legions of fans, this sixth novel in Diana Gabaldon s bestselling Outlander saga is a masterpiece of historical fiction from one of the most popular authors of our time.\u003cbr\u003e Since the initial publication of \u003ci\u003eOutlander\u003c\/i\u003e fifteen years ago, Diana Gabaldon s \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e–bestselling saga has won the hearts of readers the world over -- and sold more than twelve million books. Now, \u003ci\u003eA Breath of Snow and Ashes\u003c\/i\u003e continues the extraordinary story of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century wife, Claire.\u003cbr\u003e The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long fuse of rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest.\u003cbr\u003e With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result will be independence -- with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. And there is also the matter of a tiny clipping from \u003ci\u003eThe Wilmington Gazette,\u003c\/i\u003e dated 1776, which reports Jamie s death, along with his kin. For once, he hopes, his time-traveling family may be wrong about the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\nLibrary Journal\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has gotten this far in Gabaldon's popular \"Outlander\" saga knows to expect loads of steamy sex, kidnappings, medical miracles, and gritty period details. Breath's 900-plus pages don't disappoint. With the threat of the American Revolution looming, 20th-century time traveler Claire Fraser and her 18th-century Scottish husband, Jamie, must finally choose sides and prepare for war. On the domestic front, Claire's and Jamie's daughter, Brianna, experiments with piping running water to their cabin while her husband, Roger, contemplates ordainment as a minister. But what about that newspaper clipping that says Claire and Jamie die in a house fire? Knowledge of the future clearly goes only so far. Enemies both old and new add to the continuing drama of the Fraser family's survival in the hinterlands of North Carolina. Gabaldon's enjoyable formula works, even if it's taken five previous novels and a few thousand pages to get to the year 1776. Essential for every fiction collection.
