About this listen

Diana Gabaldon, the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Outlander saga, brings back one of her most compelling characters: Lord John Grey.

Here Gabaldon weaves together the strands of Lord John's secret and public lives - a shattering family mystery, a love affair with potentially disastrous consequences, and a war that stretches from the Old World to the New. It's been 17 years since Lord John's father, the duke of Pardloe, was found dead, a pistol in his hand and accusations of his role as a Jacobite agent staining forever a family's honor. Now unlaid ghosts from the past are stirring.

Lord John's brother has mysteriously received a page of their late father's missing diary - and John is convinced that someone is taunting the Grey family with secrets from the grave. So he turns to the only man he can trust: the Scottish Jacobite James Fraser. But war, a forbidden affair, and Fraser's own secrets will complicate Lord John's quest - until James Fraser yields the missing piece of an astounding puzzle and Lord John must decide whether his family's honor is worth his life.

I listened to this as I am waiting for the most recent outlander book to come out. This gives you more of an insight into what type of man Lord John is, so when you read outlander you understand his bits of the story more. Characters entwine in this series with the outlander series such as Percy Wainwright and Harold.
The book is an easy listen, as usual, Diana Gabaldon did a lot of research into the era and kept it as historically accurate as possible. You see what life was like for the upper class and the military living during the Seven Year War.
The book is more fast pace than outlander which I enjoyed, she is very good at writing from a male point of view, you sympathise with him and get an insight to our horrible and scary being a gay in his time was.
You do not need to read the outlander books to enjoy this, its a series in its own right.

Easy listen - if your missing outlander

what do you think British think of words of 200 years ago narrated as American... "Newgit" instead of Newgate and deTALE instead of detail and many more. there have been such excellent work on the accents of this narration with many language forms and intonations but no use of a British pronunciation anthology. online so available as Oxford or Cambridge gives pronunciation samples. for such a good novelist and quality writing it is a tremendous aberration.

excellent accents but American not British words

my fave lord John story

Another excellent Lord John story, brilliantly performed and narrated. I love the Outlander series of books with Jamie and Claire and the Lord John novellas etc provide more back story for the other characters. Would love to see these also brought to the small screen.

Excellent as always, narrator keeps you in the time, with a good range of voices and accents for each character it plays almost like a movie in my mind. Now on to the Scottish Prisoner!

What did you like most about Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade?

I think Jeff Woodman is the perfect voice for Lord John, he's very English but has a slight naughtiness in his manner. I listen to these books in the car and they're very suitable for listening to a chunk and then stopping without losing the sense of the story or its ideas.

What did you like best about this story?

I think Lord John is a great character, very well written and interesting

What about Jeff Woodman’s performance did you like?

This is definitely the voice of Lord John!

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Slightly racy but plenty of excitement too.

Any additional comments?

Don't listen with children in the car!

Easy to listen to but a bit x rated

this is well plotted and well written, though I skip the sex scenes as too embarrassing.
The reader's fake "English" accent, however, is infuriating. The mispronunciation of "plait" as "plate" rather than "platt" is particularly grating.
I would have given up if the story had been less interesting.

great story, awful reader.

I have considerable respect for this author, and beguiled by a new perspective into the lives of Jamie I expected somethimg complimentary regarding the story line.
I was very disappointed, and will now have to read between the lines.
I respected the way she built her characters, but this was too far for my tastes.

not up to Diana's standard

slightly ruined by the recording however. it kept cutting out or repeating in parts. plus the narrators voice changed within the same chapter, presumably with the change in recording days. however the story was enough to keep going with it. the Scottish accent needs work

the story was excellent, thrilling and intriguing.
