The inspiration for the hit series on Starz, Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed Outlander novels blend rich historical fiction with riveting adventure and a truly epic love story.

Love this series. I got lost in these books easily. There was so much detail. I got started on these books from the series and quit watching the series because the books were so much better. ( )

All of these books have detailed history and the characters are so vividly described that you can imagine them standing in front of you. All are real page turners and hard to put down! ( )
