Der Usus der Armee: Ein Lord-John-Kurzroman by Diana Gabaldon
5.0
Lord John Grey has a small role as a supporting character in the early Outlander books, but then gets the chance to take center stage in Diana Gabaldon's spin-off novels. In this novella, Lord John encounters an electric eel, participates in an ill-advised duel, and goes off to the wilds of Canada to serve as a witness in a court-martial proceeding... and ends up right in the thick of things in the 1759 battle of Quebec.
Short but action-packed, The Custom of the Army has some classic John moments, filled with his trademark humor and intelligence, and is a wonderful addition to the Outlander world.
I highly recommend the audiobook version of this (and all) Lord John books. Jeff Woodman's narration is spot-on perfect and truly makes the characters come alive.
