The Scottish Prisoner / Diana Gabaldone / 534 pages / R. T. Reviewer's Choice Award

I absolutely love Diana Gabaldone's historic fiction novels!  Although it has been years since I've read one (at least 10), I was immediately drawn into Jamie Frasier's story.  Jamie, a prisoner of the English crown due to his involvement in the Scottish uprising at Culloden, is paroled on a farm and working as a groom.  He is contacted by Tobias Quinn in hopes that he will re-engage in the Jacobite cause.  He is also requested to assist John Grey in bringing a certain Siverly to court martial.  This is an excellently written tale of an honorable man to whom fate has dealt a most unfair lot.  The only disappointment is that Claire does not make an appearence.  I highly recommend this book!!
