Voyager: (Outlander, Book 3) by Diana Gabaldon | Summary & Analysis
Book*Sense - 2015
Following both immediately upon the end of and twenty years after the previous volume, Dragonfly in Amber, the novel reiterates the series’ time-travel premise as its protagonist, Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser, travels through time and back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean in the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Britain’s empire-building is explored more thoroughly in the novel, and the seeds for much of the later events in the series are sown in the gripping and substantial read. Jamie finds himself labeled as a criminal and forced, after incarceration, to operate under a series of assumed identities. Claire resolves her life in the twentieth century and returns to her husband’s side after a twenty-year separation. Once together again, the two become embroiled not in the better-known historical particulars but in a complex family drama that takes them throughout Scotland and the West Indies before leaving them on the shores of what would become the United States. This companion to Voyager also includes the following: • Book Review • Story Setting Analysis • Story elements you may have missed as we decipher Gabaldon’s novel • Clear, concise description and analysis of personalities • Summary of the text, with some analytical comments interspersed • Thought Provoking /or Discussion Questions for both Readers & Book Clubs • Discussion & Analysis of Themes, Symbols… • And Much More! This Analysis fills the gap, making you understand more while enhancing your reading experience.
Breaking Down Breaking Bad: Unpeeling the Layers of Television's Greatest Drama
Eric San Juan - 2013
The idea that his foray into meth production was not merely a dalliance with darkness, but was actually a full-blown awakening intrigued us. And most of all, the idea that we came to have no respect for the protagonist of our favorite show utterly fascinated us.We couldn’t look away.Breaking Down Breaking Bad attempts to poke into the dark corners of Walter White’s mind, explore the traits that make this show special, and revels in the joy of what is arguably the best drama ever to appear on television. In doing so, it also peels back the layers of what makes characters like Jesse Pinkman tick, explores why we were so drawn to characters like Gus Fring and Mike Ehrmantraut, and relives some of the greatest moments of this already legendary show.Because the show may be gone, but the conversation about it certainly isn’t.Eric San Juan is the coauthor of A Year of Hitchcock (Scarecrow Press 2009) and Hitchcock’s Villains (Scarecrow Press 2013), as well as Geek Wisdom (Quirk Books 2011) and other books. Before Breaking Bad came along, he thought Deadwood was the greatest thing since sliced bread. He still thinks it’s pretty damn good.

And there’s Comet, a horse with his own story, and Rio soon discovers he could change her life in ways she’d never imagined. Except she’s not so sure she wants it to…
