________________________________
The first book in Diana Gabaldon's LORD JOHN GREY series, set in the same world as her OUTLANDER novels

It's 1758 and Europe is in turmoil - the Seven Years War is taking hold and London is ripe with deceit. The enigmatic Lord John Grey, a nobleman and high-ranking officer in His Majesty's Army, pursues a clandestine love affair and a deadly family secret.

Grey's father, the Duke of Pardloe, shot himself just days before he was to be accused of being a Jacobite traitor. Now, seventeen years on, the family name has been redeemed; but an impending marriage revives the scandal. Lord John knows that as Whitehall whispers, rumours all too often lead their victims to the wails of Newgate prison - and to the gallows.

From barracks and parade-grounds to the bloody battlefields of Prussia, Grey faces danger and forbidden passions in his search for the truth. But it is in the stony fells of the Lake District that he finds the man who may hold the key to his quest: the enigmatic Jacobite prisoner Jamie Fraser.

Eighteenth-century Europe is brought startlingly to life in this compelling adventure mystery.

Review

"First-rate . . . From London's literary salons and political intrigue to fearsome battle scenes in the Seven Years' War, [Diana Gabaldon's] writing is always vivid and often lyrical."--TheWashington Post

"Strongly recommended . . . Gabaldon's expert knowledge of her time period and delicate feel for the intricacies of human behavior make this second Grey novel as enjoyable as the first."--Library Journal

Well written intriguing Who-dunnit.

Reviewed in Australia on 23 June 2021

This is a riveting second novel of Lord John Grey. While the sex scenes are as descriptive as those in the Outlander series, I concede that they are necessary to the entire story and part of the human love story. Lord John is a strong character and is incredibly well written as are all Diana Gabalden novels I've had the delight of getting lost in

Another page turner from Diana Gabaldon. After Outlander it a compelling read to delve into the adventures of Lord John Grey.

Better than Jamie

Reviewed in Australia on 28 November 2014

Verified Purchase

Have read all the Lord John books as I am now a big fan. He is so much more interesting than Jamie [and Clare] who seem to make hasty decisions that change other peoples lives drastically. I know, this is what people love to read but not me. Much prefer to read about Lord John and am waiting with bated breath to see which actor gets the role.

Disappointing .... please get back to writing about Jamie and Claire!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2020

I love the Outlander books bit, because there is such a big time lag between the books coming out, I’ve also read all the other books Ms Gabaldon has written. I do wish she’d get on with the Jamie & Claire saga though and stop trotting out all this other stuff!
I found the story far too confusing; I only finished it last night but, apart from the basics, I really couldn’t tell you what it was about. The author likes to use a lot of words, and sometimes I totally lose track of what she’s trying to say; also we had far too many pages filled with John & Percy gazing at each other etc etc etc. We've all got the picture about Lord John’s sexual preference - but I didn’t buy the book to read all about their passionate encounters; I wanted the back story on the Jacobite traitors and the late Duke of Pardloe, but the majority of the book seemed to be the live story of Percy & John!
We’re all eagerly awaiting the next instalment of Jamie & Claire’s story, but I guess these books are quicker to push out (less research?) therefore money coming in. I’m afraid I won’t be wasting anymore money on these books though.
One more thing ..... I know Ms Gabaldon is American but there were quite a few ‘americanisms’ in the book, and these don’t seem appropriate when writing about 18th century England (example: the porch area of a London house is described as a ‘stoop’)?

Another great offering from Diana Gabaldon

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 September 2018

Verified Purchase

I love the fact that this story lets us see further into Lord John's family relations. His delightful mother is getting married and he and Hal will be gaining not only a step-father, but a step-brother. Lord John is instantly attracted to Percy but he still loves Jamie Fraser.

The action mainly takes place in London and Prussia but we do get to visit Helwater and Jamie. Two of my other favourite characters, Stephan and Harry Quarry appear too. There's a very emotional revelation about John's father's apparent suicide. Plus a mystery relating to some pages of his father's diary which are being delivered to Hal and their mother.

It's a very enjoyable read and helps to fill in details of everyone's lives during the period of Claire's return to the 20th Century.

Poor excuse for a side story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2021

Verified Purchase

As an ardent and very long term Outlander as the series of books has now become . I find this side story mundane and self indulgent and suggest the author concentrate on the main story where Hercules are more suited. That she make up her mind and write the ending

A great gay period romp

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2021

Verified Purchase

A wonderful mix of boys own adventure and period romp with one of the few gay title characters in this genre of fiction. For all its length the story fizzes through ad you follow the adventures and misadventures of Lord John and his romantic entanglements. However all this is underlaid by a strong grasp of the era in which it is set

Great Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2022

Love the Lord John books ...hope they will also someday come to TV as a series. The crossover with the Outlander series is great but they are brilliant on their own for anyone who had not read Outlander ( though, if you haven't you are missing out on the best historical fiction series I have ever read)
