Book Log 22/2016 - Diana Gabaldon: Virgins - An Outlander Novella

[jacey]

A novella detailing some of the adventures of Jamie Fraser and Ian in France. Set before the happenings in the first Outlander novel, the action takes place just after the death of Jamie's father and the flogging that disfigured Jamie's back. It's a standalone adventure with Jamie and Ian working in a mercenary company detailed to protect a consignment for a Jewish doctor. The two protagonists are little more then boys, the virgins of the title, but big boys with swords. I thought it might detail how Ian lost his leg, but it leaves the duo still standing to fight another day.

I bought this as a separate ebook, but I believe it was originally in the Dangerous Women anthology edited by George R.R. Martin.
