Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Diana Gabaldon's Novels

Diana Gabaldon began writing in March 1988 as a private experiment, and by 1991 the experiment had become Outlander, the opening book of the epic series she is still best known for. The American author is famously hard to shelve: her work folds romance, historical fiction, mystery, adventure, and science fiction into a single story, and alongside the main series she has written the Lord John books plus novellas, short stories, and graphic novels.

This guide covers twenty-two books published between 1991 and 2021, ending with Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone. With a body of work this sprawling, publication order is the natural path — it's how her readers lived the saga as it grew.
