the fiery cross diana gabaldon

THE FIFTH NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES. 1771: the Colony of North Carolina stands in an uneasy balance, with the rich, colonial aristocracy on one side and the struggling pioneers of the backcountry on the other. Between them stands Jamie Fraser, a man of honour, a man of worth. Exiled from his beloved Scotland, he is at last possessed of the land he has longed for. By his side his extraordinary wife, Claire, a woman out of time and out of place, blessed with the uneasy gift of the knowledge of what is to come. In the past, that knowledge has brought both danger and deliverance to Jamie and Claire. Now it could be a flickering torch that will light their way through the perilous years ahead - or might ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes. The Fiery Cross is by turns poignant, page-turning, meticulous in its historical detail and searingly passionate.

From the international bestselling author of the Outlander series, the terrific new novel featuring the ever-popular Lord John.1760. Jamie Fraser is a paroled prisoner-of-war in the remote Lake District. Close enough to the son he cannot claim as his own, his quiet existence is interrupted first by dreams of his lost wife, then by the appearance of Tobias Quinn, an erstwhile comrade from the Rising. Lord John Grey - aristocrat, soldier, sometime spy - is in possession of papers which reveal a damning case of corruption and murder against a British officer. But the documents also hint at a far more dangerous conspiracy.Soon Lord John and Jamie are unwilling companions on the road to Ireland, a country whose castles hold dreadful secrets, and where the bones of the dead are hidden, in an epic story of treachery - and scores that can only be settled in blood.

The year is 1757. On a bright June day, Lord John Grey emerges from his club, his mind in turmoil. A nobleman and a high-ranking officer in His Majesty s Army, Grey has just witnessed something shocking. But his efforts to avoid a scandal that might destroy his family are interrupted by something still more urgent: the Crown appoints him to investigate the brutal murder of a comrade-in-arms, who might well have been a traitor. Obliged to pursue two inquiries at once, Major Grey finds himself ensnared in a web of treachery and betrayal that touches every level of society - and threatens all he holds dear. From the bawdy-houses of London s night world to the drawing rooms of the nobility, from the blood of a murdered corpse to the thundering seas of the East India Company, Lord John follows the elusive trail of the woman in green who may hold the key to everything - or to nothing at all. The early days of the Seven Years War come brilliantly to life in this historical adventure mystery by the acclaimed author whose unique and compelling storytelling has engrossed millions of readers worldwide.

A keepsake collection of Lord John Grey s shorter adventures and a spectacular addition to any Gabaldon fan s library, Lord John and the Hand of the Devils brings these three unique novellas together for the first time.____________Lord John and the Hellfire Club marks the first appearance of Lord John outside the Outlander novels (and chronologically precedes the novel Lord John and the Private Matter). A young diplomat is killed in the street as he begs Lord John for help. Witnessing the murder, Grey vows to avenge the young man, as the trail leads to the notorious Hellfire Club and the dark caves beneath Medmenham AbbeyIn Lord John and the Succubus, Grey s assignment as liaison to a Hanoverian regiment in Germany finds him caught between two threats: the advancing French and Austrian army, and the menace of a mysterious night-hag, who spreads fear and death among the troops. Acknowledging that he is unlikely to fall victim to a succubus, Lord John is obliged to contend with the marauding night-hag before the enemy arrives. This tale with a touch of the supernatural bridges the action between Gabaldon s two full-length Lord John tales.Finally, in Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Lord John is called to the Arsenal at Woolwich to answer a Royal Commission of Enquiry s questions regarding a cannon that exploded during the battle of Krefeld (a central action in Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade). Accusations ensue, and Lord John finds himself knee-deep in a morass of gunpowder, treason, and plot -- haunted by a dead lieutenant, and followed by a man with no face.____________Readers love Lord John and the Hand of Devils . . .***** John Grey is my spirit animal. I am such a fan of this series! ***** My eyes couldn t read fast enough!! ***** I enjoyed all three, once again became lost in the time period within seconds of starting to read....I don t know how Diana G. does it! ***** I really, really liked this trilogy of novellas that were included in this book. ***** The insight is fascinating, interesting and favourable.

Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1743, and it took them twenty years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same. It is 1779 and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser’s Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible. Yet even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell’s tea-kettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his tenants are split and it won’t be long until the war is on his doorstep. Brianna and Roger have their own worry: that the dangers that provoked their escape from the twentieth century might catch up to them. Sometimes they question whether risking the perils of the 1700s—among them disease, starvation, and an impending war—was indeed the safer choice for their family. Not so far away, young William Ransom is still coming to terms with the discovery of his true father’s identity—and thus his own—and Lord John Grey has reconciliations to make, and dangers to meet . . . on his son’s behalf, and his own. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser’s Ridge. And with the family finally together, Jamie and Claire have more at stake than ever before.

Jejich lásku nezmaří čas ani hranice. Vydejte se s nimi proti proudu historie z Edinburghu až na Jamajku! Po tragické prohře na pláni u Cullodenu se Claire vrátila opět do 20. století a po dvacet let vychovávala v Bostonu svou dceru Briannu. Bolest z toho, že se jí nepodařilo v minulosti zamezit porážce reků z Vysočiny a zachránit milovaného Jamieho, se však nezbavila. Vše se ovšem mění roku 1968, kdy z archivních dokumentů vyčte, že její drahý masakr skotských klanů možná přece jen přežil. Souhra šťastných okolností způsobila, že se Jamie místo na márách ocitl v ardsmuirské věznici. Jakým řízením osudu a pod čí identitou se mu odtud podařilo uniknout? A proč se oba milenci po shledání strastiplně plaví až na daleký ostrov v Karibiku?

Jamie obrátil oči v sloup a spadl na podlahu ve sprše papírů a různých odřezků, které ležely na tiskařském lisu. Na tak velkého muže spadl dost elegantně, pomyslela jsem si roztržitě. – ukázka z textu.

Audiokniha: Překonali nepřízeň osudu i propast času. Stane se jejich novým domovem panenská Amerika? Po dramatických událostech v Karibiku se Claire a Jamie ocitají v Americe. Nový svět poloviny 18. století však v žádném ohledu neskýtá idylu, natož bezpečí – život v tehdejší britské kolonii Jižní Karolína je jaksepatří tvrdý. Ačkoli pár vítá panenská krajina slibující vysněný domov, v cestě jim krom nástrah divočiny stojí překážky: především právní skutečnost, že vlastnictví zdejší půdy by si Jamie Fraser musel nejprve vyjednat v rodném Skotsku. Tam mu ovšem hrozí šibenice, a proto se manželé rozhodnou hospodařit na plantáži slepé tetičky Jocasty. Jenže tím trable nekončí. Čelí spolu nejen ústrkům a politikaření ze strany osadníků Jihu, ale hlavně strastiplné realitě otrokářství a nevraživostem indiánského kmene Mohawků, kteří byli dosud doma i na pobřeží… Čtvrtý díl oblíbené série Cizinka, jíž se celosvětově prodalo přes 20 milionů výtisků, představí vedle oblíbené ústřední dvojice i plejádu nových, zajímavých postav. Podle romancí Diany Gabaldonové vznikl stejnojmenný TV seriál Outlander s Caitrionou Balfe a Samem Heughanem v hlavních rolích, který se v letech 2014–2023 dočkal už sedmi řad. „Autorka nezapomíná, že Cizinka je v jádru milostným příběhem. Zatímco se Jamie a Claire rozhodují, za jakých podmínek budou žít a jak se vyrovnají s dramaty kolem sebe, zůstává její pozornost upřena na soužití páru po dvacetileté odluce. Znamenitě popisuje jednak dobové detaily, jednak vypjaté či komické situace.“ – Doux Reviews „Jamie a Claire se řadí k evropským objevitelům karolínské divočiny a po cestě za vysněným štěstím získávají nové přátele i známé. Stejně jako u ostatních knih série jsou útrapy jejich doby vykresleny mimořádně živě.“ – THC Review „Příběh nezapomenutelných postav, bohatě vyšívaný historickými pikantnostmi.“ – The Cincinnati Post „Nádherná kniha plná zvratů, dobrodružství a romantiky, čtivá jako předchozí díly. Konec plný zvratů a překvapení. Doufám, že se dočkám dalšího dílu nádherného čtení Jitky Ježkové.“ – z recenzí předchozího dílu na portálu Audiolibrix

The Fiery Spirits tells the story of the MPs in parliament and the protestors in the streets who played a pivotal role in the English Civil Wars. Through their stories, John Rees reveals the hidden history of the republicans who brought a desperate nation to the brink of revolution.At the start of the English Civil Wars, very few could have imagined that the country would soon become a republic. Practically alone in his republicanism was Henry Marten, MP and future regicide. But he soon gathered around him a group of radical Parliamentarians that included William Strode, the parliamentary firebrand, Alexander Rigby, the formidable soldier, and Sir Peter Wentworth, descendant of a long line of opponents of monarchy. They formed the nucleus of a group that allied itself to a popular movement outside parliament to defeat the king politically and militarily.In The Fiery Spirits, Rees tells how Marten and his radical allies overcame both moderate Parliamentarians and Royalists to change the face of England forever, establishing a kingdom without a crown.

All before the outpouring of Royal grief in September when we said goodbye to the Queen and came to terms with God Save the King .Away from the monarchy, there was the surreal story of a woolly mammoth who might one day play for Scotland, a knight in armour visiting an Edinburgh pub, a cow patiently waiting for a train, Santa climbing a statue and an emu loose in Livingston.
