I, being an avid fan of the captivating world created by Diana Gabaldon, have reached the conclusion of yet another thrilling adventure featuring Lord John Grey. With a heart full of anticipation and excitement, I eagerly look forward to immersing myself in the next installment of this remarkable series – “Lord John and the Custom of the Army.” My life has been enriched by these stories, transporting me back to an era filled with history, romance, and intrigue.

As a seasoned reader with a deep appreciation for literature, I’ve come across some truly captivating works that leave a lasting impression. One such piece is a novella that holds a special place in my heart. This short masterpiece was initially published on its own and later included in two other collections: “A Trail of Fire” and “Seven Stones to Stand and Fall.”
What is Lord John and the Custom of the Army about?
In the year 1759, the novel is situated, and Lord John Grey journeys to Canada following a well-deserved promotion due to his valor at the Battle of Crefeld. During his time there, he participates in the Siege of Quebec. However, an unexpected encounter awaits him: his cousin-in-law, Malcolm Stubbs.
If you’ve had the pleasure of reading “Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone,” you’re familiar with the character John Cinnamon. In this captivating tale, we’re introduced to John and learn the origin of his name as well as why he believes Lord John Grey is his father. Understanding these aspects provides valuable context.
When will we start this Lord John novella?
As someone who has devoted countless hours to losing myself in the captivating worlds of literature, I completely understand the importance of taking a break now and then. With six sections to this current story, I find it necessary to pace myself, allowing for brief respites before diving into the next adventure. The following novel, “The Scottish Prisoner,” is an extensive work that will undoubtedly require a significant investment of time and energy. Life, after all, isn’t just about reading; there are other commitments and responsibilities that demand our attention. So, I embrace these breaks as opportunities to recharge and appreciate the richness of each story in its entirety.
As a gamer, I’m excited to announce that we’ll begin our next book adventure with “Lord John and the Custom of the Army” on July 22. By doing so, we’ll be able to complete it by July 29. Afterward, we’ll take a break for the rest of that week before diving into “The Scottish Prisoner.”
