The Outlander series is a global phenomenon which has captured audiences across the world with its tale of a time-travelling Sassenach. But, before it was made into a hugely popular show starring Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, it was a bestselling series of books.
Written by Diana Gabaldon, there are nine published novels in the epic Outlander series – with a tenth one planned. If you’re looking to read them after Season 6, here’s the order of the books and a bit about them.
