A collection of short fiction -- including two never-before-published novellas -- featuring Jamie Fraser, Lord John Grey, Master Raymond, and many more, all extending the story of Outlander in new directions. "The Custom of the Army" begins with Lord John Grey being shocked by an electric eel and ends at the Battle of Quebec. Then comes "The Space Between," where it is revealed that the Comte St. Germain is not dead, Master Raymond appears, and a widowed young wine dealer escorts a would-be novice to a convent in Paris. In "A Plague of Zombies," Lord John unexpectedly becomes military governor of Jamaica when the original governor is gnawed by what probably wasn't a giant rat. "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows" is the moving story of Roger MacKenzie's parents during World War II. In "Virgins," Jamie Fraser, aged nineteen, and Ian Murray, aged twenty, become mercenaries in France, no matter that neither has yet bedded a lass or killed a man. But they're trying. "A Fugitive Green" is the story of Lord John's elder brother, Hal, and a seventeen-year-old rare book dealer with a sideline in theft, forgery, and blackmail. And finally, in "Besieged," Lord John learns that his mother is in Havana -- and that the British Navy is on their way to lay siege to the city.… (més)

I am enthralled by Gabaldon's "short" stories...I think Lord John (and the other Greys...) are the best characters from her entire Outlander world. Better even than Claire (IMO)! Keep writing about 18th century men!! ( )

A good book of seven short stories, however, most story lengths were what most writers would call a short novel length. These great stories are about some of the characters we find in the 'Outlander' series in the early days and other characters that weren't the main protagonists in the main books but were mentioned and held a spark for our imaginations.

All were good, but I particularly enjoyed the story about Roger McKenzie's father in "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows" which seemed to be one of the shorter stories. It's a glimpse into the WWII air efforts, spying, and time travel. I also enjoyed "Virgins" a story of early mercenary life for Jamie Fraser and his friend, Ian Murray.

The one story that surprised me was about John Gray and zombies in "A Plague of Zombies" an account of what happened to him in Jamaica. Other stories of John and of his brother Hal, also hold surprises. I recommend this book. ( )

I read most of the stories/novellas here in other collections, but there were three stories/novellas that were new to me: Virgins, A Fugitive Green, and Besieged. All three were swell, but the latter two were my favorites. Combined, the three I hadn't read yet are enough to make up their own book. D.G. doesn't really do "short."

After the last couple of Outlander books, I've wanted to read more about Lord John and his family, and this collection delivers the goods. I remember really enjoying A Plague of Zombies when I read it, and Besieged is a nice sequel to that story. It was great to read Minnie and Hal's story in A Fugitive Green, although it did feel rushed at the end.

The only story I felt lukewarm toward was The Space Between. That one just didn't grab me when I read it-I was never really interested in those characters.
Virgins was pretty good, but I'd rather read a Jamie story if Claire's in it too. The Custom of the Army is another fun Lord John adventure, and A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows was great, especially for fans of Roger.

Gabaldon fans should definitely check this out.

A collection of seven short stories and novellas set in and around the Outlander and Lord John Grey novels. A delight for fans of the series as Gabaldon dives into the back stories of characters both major and minor. My personal favourite was the short story about Roger's parents during WWII. Easy to dip in and out of or to read straight through. Recommended for Outlander fans. ( )
