Vegas Reading List Backup – Dragon Fly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon

Just in case I have extra time during my trip to Las Vegas and then Laughlin Nevada, I’m also going to have a backup book.  Its Dragon Fly in Amber and its the second book in the 4 book series by Diana Gabaldon.

I received a warning on this book from my mother in law that there are far too many references to "embracing you to my shoulder like a butterfly so I can rut you like a bull".  The phrase didn’t work for her, and doesn’t appeal to me either, but the historical time travel part of the book still sounds good.

Publisher’s Summary

New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon enchanted scores of fans with Outlander, her electrifying historical saga set in 18th-century Scotland. Now the sequel sweeps listeners back into the past as Claire relates more of her perilous sojourn there with her Scottish warrior husband, James Fraser. Twenty years after her strange journey back in time, Claire has returned to Scotland with her daughter, determined to share with her the secret she has harbored since her time travel. Still longing to know the fate of her beloved warrior, she recounts the story of her stay with him in the intrigue-ridden court of Charles Stuart and their attempt to avert the doomed Highlands uprising at Culloden. As her story unfolds, it reveals implications more far-reaching than even Claire could have guessed.

Narrator Davina Porter’s gift for expression captures the history and flavor of a harsh place and time, and gives it the polish of a warm and engaging love story.

So now I’m downloading some monstrous files from Audible so that I can load them up on to my treo.  Sure wish I could just load them up on to my collection of usb flash drives and rotate through them as necessary.
