Audio book Summary:

 
WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS OF EARLIER OUTLANDER BOOKS
 
Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century. The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The second time, 20 years later, she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history. Diana Gabaldon’s fans will be delighted to find Jamie and Claire as spirited and endearing as ever in this fourth installment of this magnificent saga. Romance, history, and time travel blend once again as the couple builds a new life together in the wilderness of pre-Revolutionary America.

One reason to listen:
The Drums of Autumn is a great addition for fans of the Outlander series and science fiction and romance in general.

 


 

Reactions:

“Thank you so much for obtaining the unabridged version of Drums of Autumn. I was soooo immersed in the lives of Claire and Jamie but the abridged version, which I purchased, was like replacing fine wine with Kool Aid! I immediately asked when you might have the unabridged version and you listened to me. Here it is! In addition, Davina Porter has become the voice of Claire for me, so it’s incredible to have her back in this version. Again, thanks again…this is like opening a surprise gift!” – Frances M.

“This is a fantastic book and number 4 in the Outlander series. I love Devina Porter as the narrator. I wish the next two books had been unabridged! I will read the books rather than to listen to the abridged version. And I do not like the other narrator that I listened to on the samples. The first 4 books have been the best I have read (heard) in a long time. I recommend them to all, especially the adult ladies. Rather sexually explicit for young girls. I feel like Jamie and Clair are part of my family. I shall miss them, now that I have finished these four books. PLEASE, PLEASE bring to us the UNABRIDGED version of The Fiery Cross, and A Breath of Snow and Ashes!!!!” – Gail

“This was a satisfying installment in the saga of Jamie and Claire I hope Audible will add Gabaldon’s Fiery Cross and Breath of Snow and Ashes in the unabridged versions SOON. Narrator Davina Porter does such an extraordinary job with both male and female voices that good books are rendered great with her performances. Audible notes in her profile that she won a 2006 recording award for A Breath of Snow and Ashes, but it is not yet available here.” – Wendy

“I gave this book a 4 star as it is up to the same high standards as the others in the series. I think it does lose a bit when the daughter’s boyfriend becomes a bit ‘macho’, but that’s about all. I finished this book with a lot of sadness though as the next in the series is both abridged and not read by Davina Porter. I’m afraid I am going to have to read it so that I get the same voices in my mind.” – Vicky

“As with all of the Outlander series I am in wonder and how anyone from the 20th century would choose to live in those primitive times but that is what the series is about for the most part; Claire and Jamie’s love for each other and the choices she makes to have that forever. This was not my favorite book though it kept me interested enough to listen to all six parts in rapid succession. If you do not have a lot of time I would not recommend it. If you are taking on very long commutes or doing a big job in your house; go for it. It will keep you interested and entertained. Don’t get me wrong – if the rest of the series is finally published in unabridged format I’ll be there with my Gold Dollar Credit. I will not get the abridged version.” – Kimberly
