Review: Outlander - Audiobook, CD, Unabridged by Diana Gabaldon

It was my boss at work that shared this gem of a story with me. It literally has everything in it. Swords battles, gun battles, stampedes, love and sex, history and science fiction and the occult. It is a jammed pack epic. Check out the synopsis:

In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone ruins and is instantly transported to a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans . in 1743. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser? Davina Porter's lyrical narration will launch listeners into an exhilarating world of heroism, pulse-pounding adventure, and breathtaking romance as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love.

The reader, Davina Porter does an excellent job. Doesn't quite have a handle on men's voices but it isn't distracting. 
The announcement the CD has ended is always appreciated. It's 32.5 hours on 28 CDs. It moves quick and never dull. I hear there is a version of this on Showtime. I've not watched it yet. I have started the second part to this series and I am loving Dragonfly in Amber.
