Voyager, book three in the best-selling Outlander series, was written by Diana Gabaldon.
Diana Gabaldon (born January 11, 1952) is an American author of Mexican and English ancestry. Her most successful books are the best-selling Outlander series; Voyager is the third installment in the six book series.
Gabaldon's 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). The storyline centers on a time-travelling 20th-century nurse (Clare Randall Fraser) and her 18th-century Scottish husband (Jamie Fraser), and are located in Scotland, France, and America.
The heroine of the bestselling Outlander, Claire, returns in Voyager as a mother to Brianna Ellen Randall and living in Boston in the year 1965. The preceding novel, Dragonfly in Amber, ended with Claire and Brianna coming to grips with the truth of Brianna's real father Jamie Fraser and Claire's travel through time. In Voyager Claire and Brianna trace Jamie's life since the battle of Culloden during the Scottish Rising. Discovering Jamie survived the massacre that heralded the destruction of many clans in Scotland sends Claire back to the stone circle that first hurtled her through time - twenty years before.
Voyager is a poignant tale of two lovers finding each other again, embarking on a whirlwind journey filled with danger on the high seas and the constant peril of Jamie's past catching up with them. As the third in what is now a six book series of Claire Randall Fraser and her highlander husband Jamie, the story is an integral step in a bestselling and surprisingly rich tale spanning from the Scottish Rising to the American Revolution.
