It's one of the fastest reads you'll have in your library.

For nine years, four books,and nearly 4,000 pages, Diana Gabaldon has entranced readers with her talentfor historical authenticity, dramatic plot lines, and strong characters in the Outlanderseries. Her superb writing has earned a loyal audience, but after a million anda half words, even the most fervent of fans may have a difficult time trying to recall the exact details of the secondary characters, let alone the obscureones. Thankfully, Gabaldon's The Outlandish Companion is here to help.
