5 out of 5 stars *****
The third book in the Outlander series, Voyager, is just as fresh as the first two because new characters arise while old ones emerge by, what seems, magnetic attraction of time travellers to their acquaintances. The environment changes from land to sea for most of this thrilling adventure. Gabaldon does a great job capturing the dangers associated with this form of expedition since crossing the Atlantic from Scotland to the New World means gambling with one's life. Of course, Claire and Jamie encounter natural and manmade obstacles that separate them - what's new - so their love for each other can strengthen in their heroic efforts to reunite by sheer willpower. These likable protagonists interact with the worst conditions while maintaining a hope that can only exist with a faith that their history together demonstrates. The author handles every twist in the plot with a clever rationale that causes old and new to mesh in climactic fashion.
