Lord John 02: Lord John And The Brotherhood Of The Blade by Diana Gabaldon, ISBN 9781844132010

> Fiction Books > General Books

Against the vivid and violent backdrop of war-torn Europe, Lord John Grey pursues a deadly family secret and a clandestine love affair...

Seventeen years earlier, Grey's father, the Duke of Pardloe, shot himself just days before he was to be accused of being a Jacobite traitor. By raising a regiment to fight at Culloden, Grey's elder brother has succeeded in redeeming the family name, aided by Grey, now a Major in that regiment. But now, on the eve of the regiment's move to Germany, a mysterious threat surfaces, a threat that opens unwelcome questions about the matter of the Duke's death, and brings the Grey brothers into fresh conflict with the past and each other.

From barracks and parade-grounds to the battlefields of Prussia and the stony fells of the Lake District, Lord John's struggle to find the truth leads him through danger and passion, ever deeper, towards the answer to the question at the centre of his soul -- what is most important to a man? Love, loyalty, family name? Self-respect or honesty? Surviving the battle of Krefeld and a searing personal betrayal, John Grey returns to the Lake District to try and find the man who may hold the key to his quest: a Jacobite prisoner named Jamie Fraser.

About the Author: Diana Gabaldon

Diana Jean Gabaldon Watkins (b. January 11, 1952 in Arizona) is an American author of Mexican-American and English ancestry. Diana Gabaldon is her maiden name, and the one she uses professionally. Gabaldon is the author of the best-selling Outlander Series. Her books are difficult to classify by genre, since they contain elements of romantic fiction, historical fiction, and science fiction (in the form of time travel). Her books have so far been sold in 23 countries, and translated into 19 languages.

Gabaldon's first fiction efforts were posted on the CompuServe writers forum. She was an active member of an online community, and posted parts of her unfinished novel, Outlander, to strengthen her points in an argument with another poster. One of the people who read her post was a science fiction writer. He was impressed, and introduced her to his agent. This favorable feedback persuaded her to finish and publish the first book in the Outlander series, which later expanded to six books (two more are planned). The stories center around a time-travelling 20th-century nurse (Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser) and her 18th-century Scottish husband (James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser), and are located in Scotland, France, the West Indies and America. The seventh book of the series, An Echo in the Bone, is planned to be released in Fall 2009. The Lord John Series is a spin-off from the Outlander books, as it centers on a secondary character from the original series.

Note: Diana did not take her husband's name after they married, "My husband was mildly put out that I refused to take his name when we got married. I told him, though, that I'd been spelling "Gabaldon" for people for twenty-five years, and I was attached to it."
