A keepsake collection of Lord John Grey's shorter adventures and a spectacular addition to any Gabaldon fan's library, Lord John and the Hand of Devils brings three unique novellas together for the first time. Lord John and the Hellfire Club marks the first appearance of Lord John outside the Outlander novels. A young diplomat who had begged for Lord John's help is killed before he can explain his need. Witnessing the murder, Grey vows to avenge the young man, as the trail leads to the notorious Hellfire Club and the dark caves beneath Medmenham Abbey. In Lord John and the Succubus, Grey's assignment as liaison to a Hanoverian regiment in Germany finds him caught between two threats: the advancing French and Austrian army, and the menace of a mysterious night-hag, who spreads fear and death among the troops. Finally, in Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Lord John is called to the Arsenal at Woolwich to answer a Royal Commission of Enquiry's questions regarding a cannon that exploded during the battle of Krefeld. Accusations ensue, and Lord John finds himself knee-deep in a morass of gunpowder, treason, and plot-haunted by a dead lieutenant, and followed by a man with no face.

Stories from the dark side of life
This collection of one short story and two novellas add more detail to the life of Lord John Grey, one of the many colorful characters from Gabaldon?s Outlander series. The stories bounce around in time, but Gabaldon does a good job of connecting characters and events. In each of these stories Lord John continues his adventures into the dark and dangerous side of life. Due to John?s wits, loyalties, and family connections he survives a murderous initiation into a sinister brotherhood, an ?encounter? with another-worldly succubus, and battle wounds. In typical Gabaldon style, the stories leave the reader feeling that justice has been served despite harsh and sometimes brutal circumstances. Fortunately John?s sensitive nature survives to live on in future novels and stories.
