In LORD JOHN AND THE PLAGUE OF ZOMBIES Lord John Grey is posted to Jamaica to assist the Governor as he faces a most unsusual kind of uprising among the colony's slave population. In THE SPACE BETWEEN, Jamie Fraser's step-daughter Joan is on her way to an abbey in paris to become a nun - but when she meets the Comte St Germain, a wealthy French aristocrat rumoured to to deal in the occult - she discovers her destiny lies on a quite different path. In THE CUSTOM OF THE ARMY, Lord John Grey is summoned as a witness in a court martial in the wilds of Acadia, only to find himself playing a crucial role in the Battle of Quebec. In A LEAF ON THE WIND OF ALL HALLOWS, a WW2 Spitfire pilot called Jerry MacKenzie crashes near a stone circle and wakes up in the eighteenth century. Can the strange man he meets - who impossibly seems to know him - help him return to his wife and baby son before a terrible fate overtakes them?… (mais)
Diana Gabaldon's Outlander world is so big and the characters so numerous that, since time isn't really an obstacle either, there are pockets of untold stories all over the place. She could write in this world for a very long time.
I had already read 3 of the 4 novellas in other collections. Both of the Lord John novellas were quite good, as well as A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows (although that title always makes me think of the movie Serenity-oh, Wash).
The Space Between was my least favorite. It was worth reading for a couple of the secrets it revealed, but I didn't really care much about the relationships, and the characterization wasn't up to her usual high standards.
Still, on the strength of the other 3 novellas, I highly recommend this to Outlander fans to tide them over until the next giant block of a book comes out. ( )
Olen lukenut kaikki Matkantekijän ”pääsarjan” järkäleet. Tämä kokoelma rönsyjä oli ehdottomasti lukemisen arvoinen laajennus. Rakastin lukea Rogerin vanhemmista. Luiden kaiku jättikin tältä osalta asioita selvästi avoimeksi. Olen oppinut pitämään lordi Johnista. Varsinkin Jamaikalle sijoittuva zombitarina jätti minut kuitenkin miettimään kokonaisuuden aikajanaa. Oliko hän tuohon aikaan niin vapaa velvoitteista, kuin tässä kuvataan? Jännittävin on viimeinen tarina Välitila. Se herättää päätarinaan liitettynä monia uusia näkökulmia ja kysymyksiä. ( )
Turns out I read the first and last stories in this book in other forms. I really couldn't get into Lord John's two stories. Only got half way through the first one. Wasn't reading at all. So gave it back to the library. Just going to count it as done. ( )
