Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon, is currently marked down to $2.39, the lowest I've seen it since last December, when it went down to $1.75 (I think it was even lower a day or two before I got a copy then). I know that
by year end it was back up to $6.39, although several others in the series were still marked down then.

Book Description
Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century, and a lover in another...

In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon—when she innocently touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an "outlander"—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of our Lord...1743.

Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire's destiny in soon inextricably intertwined with Clan MacKenzie and the forbidden Castle Leoch. She is catapulted without warning into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life ...and shatter her heart. For here, James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.


The entire Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon is available for the Kindle. In order, they are:Outlander ($2.39), Dragonfly in Amber ($7.19), Voyager ($6.39), Drums of Autumn ($6.39), The Fiery Cross ($6.39) and A Breath of Snow and Ashes ($6.39) and, of course, the newest in the series, An Echo in the Bone ($13.20 - it appears the publisher intentionally set the list price at $30 in order to prevent it from being sold at $9.99 in the Kindle store, as that is above the cutoff for the automatic pricing system's discount; maybe it will go down as sales for the book increase, otherwise I'm waiting on the paperback).
