Lord John and the Brotherhood
of the Bladeby Diana Gabaldon
By Deniz Barki
On the day after their first for-
mal meeting with their mother’s
fiancée and their soon-to-be step-
brother, Lord John Grey finds a
disturbing missive in his brother
Hal’s office at the 46th
Regiment’s headquarters in
London - a page torn from his
father’s last journal, which disap-
peared soon after their father,
accused of being a Jacobite agent,
was found dead with a pistol in his
hand. Lord John is disturbed and
intrigued, all the more so when
Hal refuses to disclose any infor-
mation or even to treat the matter
seriously. If Lord John defies his
brother and pursues his investiga-
tion, can he clear his father’s
name and restore his family’s
honour?
Lord John and the Brotherhood
of the Blade is Diana Gabaldon’s
most recent novel, following Lord
John and the Private Matter, to
focus on the intrigues and adven-
tures of 18th Century soldier and
nobleman Lord John Grey. A third
