[Diana] Gabaldons strengths are on full display.Kirkus Reviews Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the celebrated Outlander series, delivers three mesmerizing tales of war, intrigue, and espionage that feature one of her most popular characters: Lord John Grey. In Lord John and the Hellfire Club, Lord John glimpses a stranger in the doorway of a gentlemans cluband is stirred by a desperate entreaty to meet with him in private. It is an impulse that will lead Lord John into a maze of political treachery and a dangerous, debauched underground society. In Lord John and the Succubus, English soldiers fighting in Prussia are rattled by a lethal creature that appears at night. Called to investigate, Lord John soon realizes that among the spirits that haunt men, none frighten more than the specters conjured by the heart. In Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Lord John is thrust into the baffling case of an exploding battlefield cannon that ultimately forces him to confront his own ghostsand the shattering prospect that a traitor is among the ranks of His Majestys armed forces.Gabaldon brings an effusive joy to her fiction that proves infectious even for readers unfamiliar with her work or the period.Publishers Weekly Críticas Deftly written, pleasantly concise stories about the ghosts of desire, each with its own discrete merits . . .

Scarcely waiting for the clubs steward to provide for his companion, Harry Quarry drained his cup of claret, then held it out for more. And another, perhaps, in honor of your return from frozen exile? Quarry grinned broadly, the scar pulling down the corner of his eye in a lewd wink as he did so, and lifted up his glass again.Lord John tilted his own cup in acceptance of the salute, but barely tasted the contents. With an effort, he kept his eyes on Quarrys face, willing himself not to turn and stare, not to gawk after the flash of fire in the corridor that had caught his eye.Quarrys scar had faded; tightened and shrunk to a thin white slash, its nature made plain only by its position, angled hard across the ruddy cheek. It might otherwise have lost itself among the lines of hard living, but instead remained visible, the badge of honor that its owner so plainly considered it.You are exceeding kind to note my return, sir, Grey said.
