Synopsis "A Breath of Snow and Ashes (Outlander) "

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The sixth book in Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series."The large scope of the novel allows Gabaldon to do what she does best, paint in exquisite detail the lives of her characters."--Booklist 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. 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 The Wilmington Gazette, 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.

Diana Gabaldon (Arizona 1952), American writer with degrees in Zoology (bachelor's), Marine Biology (master's) and Ecology (PhD), combined her academic career -publishing scientific articles and humorous stories for Disney- with literary creation. In 1991, she started the Outlander series, her first novel, which blends historical romance, adventure, and time travel. The series has sold over 50 million copies, has been translated into 38 languages, and has received awards such as the RITA (1992) and the PEN Book Award (2006).

Additionally, Gabaldon has expanded her literary universe with 9 novels in the main series, Lord John Grey spin-offs, the collection Seven Stones to Stand or Fall, three non-fiction books, and an Outlander graphic novel, published in Spanish by Salamandra.
