Outlander Book Club: Is Jamie Fraser in Lord John and the Scottish Prisoner?

As a seasoned Outlander fan who’s traveled through time more often than my own timeline allows, I must say that the upcoming book, “Lord John and the Scottish Prisoner,” has stirred quite the anticipation within our community. While some fans might be skeptical about diving into a story without their beloved Jamie or Claire, I firmly believe that these Lord John books are gems in their own right.


The upcoming book we’ll be reading is titled “The Scottish Prisoner,” which might spark curiosity given its title and connection to the “Outlander” series and its Scottish characters. However, it’s worth noting whether the story includes Jamie Fraser, our beloved character from the series.

As a passionate gamer of the Outlander series, I can vouch for the captivating stories within the Lord John Grey novels. However, some fellow fans and I have our preferences – we’re drawn exclusively to the adventures involving characters like Jamie or Claire. This limits our exploration to only those Lord John books that feature these beloved characters.

As someone who has immersed myself deeply into the world of Outlander for many years now, I firmly believe it’s essential to delve into both “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood” and “Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone” to truly grasp John and Hal’s captivating storylines. These novels offer a unique vantage point that enriches our understanding of their complex lives, providing us with an intriguing perspective on Jamie Fraser, in particular, as we get to witness him through the eyes of John. My personal experience has taught me that Outlander’s intricate narratives unfold more layers of depth and complexity when one takes the time to explore every aspect, so I wholeheartedly encourage readers to embark on this rewarding literary journey!

Jamie Fraser is featured prominently in Lord John and the Scottish Prisoner

The book titled “The Scottish Prisoner” features a character named Jamie Fraser. Notably, this narrative alternates perspectives between Jamie and another character named John, lending it a similar vibe to the popular series “Outlander,” in contrast to other works centered on a British military officer.

At Helwater, Jamie remains on parole. He encounters a Jacobite who continues to champion their cause, but Jamie has grown weary of politics. To be honest, he never sought involvement in the Jacobite uprising to begin with. Jamie is also aware that the Jacobite rebellion no longer holds promise. Why fight when it’s already lost?

In the course of events, John finds himself tasked with a trip to Ireland. Interestingly enough, he requires another travel companion for this journey, and Jamie is the ideal choice. At this point in their lives, before their bond becomes what we later read about in the Outlander series, we get to witness the development of their friendship.
