Review
“[Written in My Own Heart’s Blood] features all the passion and swashbuckling that fans of this historical fantasy series have come to expect.”—People
“Another breakneck, rip-roaring, oh-so-addictive page-turner from Gabaldon . . . Take a deep breath, jump aboard, and enjoy the ride.”—Library Journal
“With her Outlander series, [Diana] Gabaldon . . . successfully [juggles] a sizable and captivating cast of characters; developing thrilling plotlines that borrow equally from adventure, history, and romance; and meticulously integrating a wealth of fascinating period details into the story without slowing down the pace. The result is a sprawling and enthralling saga that is guaranteed to keep readers up long past their bedtimes.”—Booklist (starred review)

*** No MOBY Spoilers. I promise. But there are spoilers of other books in the Outlander series! ***
When we left these characters after `An Echo in the Bone’, way back in 2009 (and 1980, and 1778, respectively) the Fraser clan were spread far and wide and swimming in various levels of hot water.
Believing Jamie to be dead and lost at sea, along with his sister Jenny, Claire married Lord John Grey after rumblings in the British Army had her targeted for arrest on account of being a spy. Not, in fact, being dead and lost Jamie returned to find Claire at Lord John’s house in Philadelphia where he was at once confronted with the fact that his wife was married to his dear friend, and his son William (Ninth Earl of Ellesmere) was confronted with the world’s worst kept secret – that he is in fact the illegitimate son of James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser – a rebel Highlander.
Elsewhere in 1778 – young Ian, Jamie’s turned-Mohawk nephew was laying his heart at the feet of Quaker woman, Rachel Hunter, and making plans to wed her.
Meanwhile, in 1980, Claire and Jamie’s time-travelling daughter Brianna was in her own pickle. Confronted by her colleague Rob Cameron, who claimed to have kidnapped her son Jem and taken him through the Craigh na Dun stone circle (to when?) Brianna’s husband, Roger, went after his son unknowingly leaving Brianna and daughter Mandy in the clutches of Rob Cameron and unknown accomplices whose scheme for buried treasure is coming to a fore.
Jem, meanwhile, was trying to remain calm inside the deep, dark hydroelectric tunnel where Cameron had stashed him.
Are we all caught up then?
***Spoilers – please don’t read if you want to avoid me giving away some narrative points in this novel***
I love this Outlander series and enjoyed being with the characters through this telling, but I agree that it was a disappointing read for these reasons:
1) Rape as the go-to tension builder/plot point. I was starting to feel this before this novel, but WiMOHB takes it to a new level. Look, I get that there are lots of rapists in the world, but when every bad guy tries to rape every main female character in the story, it does’t just get old, it diminishes the impact of the violence and violation of rape. Jamie was violently tortured and raped. Claire was sexually assaulted in France and watched as her companion was violently raped on a street, then she was forced to barter sex with the King to save Jamie’s life after he attacked his male rapist in France. Fergus was forced to prostitute himself as a poor urchin in France. Brianna was raped, then she had some kind of weird relationship with her rapist, which I never understood, and led to her being put in danger and almost being sold into slavery (where she was again physically assaulted as a potential buyer "assessed" her person). Claire was beaten, sexually assaulted by multiple men and then raped by a complete stranger. And in this novel, Brianna is forced to strip and be touched by Rob Cameron, who intends to rape her, but she grabs him by the balls (literally) and disables him before he can finish the deed (it’s still a sexual assault…if this was supposed to be cathartic, like, look she can fight back and defend herself now, it was not).
I’m torn. There are parts of "Written in My Own Heart’s Blood" that are equal to some of the best I’ve ever read, but then there are some elements that I came to feel were self-indulgent vanities on the part of the author. About half-way through I had the sudden thought that this series needs to come to an end and soon.
All of the praise for Ms. Galbadon’s writing is well deserved as this book is all that we have come to expect from her. She is able to establish setting and character better than pretty much any author I’ve ever read with the possible exception of Stephen King. I feel like I know Jamie and Claire as well as I know members of my own family. The author’s powers of description are excellent and her ability to create tension are outstanding.
The story contains all the familiar, well-loved characters, adds several new ones and continues smoothly connected to the one that came before it in Echo in the Bone. We find out the fate of Bree, Roger, and Jem in the modern times as well as seeing Jamie and Claire through some of the early and bitter battles of the American Revolution. Lord John and William also get a fair amount of play in this novel. Truth be told, I found Lord John’s story and struggles in this novel thoroughly engrossing almost more so than that of many of the other characters. However, I must confess that William’s bellyaching and moaning about his paternity wore out its welcome well before it ended and his and Jamie’s collaboration on a problem near the end of the novel stretched my credulity a bit.
So, what then is the problem that has me so torn on how to rate this novel?

“Thomson is a hypnotic writer. His prose is precise and controlled, his images intriguingly dreamlike. Katherine Carlyle leaves a sharp, visceral afterimage in its wake; much of its staying power lies in Thomson’s ability to send the reader’s imagination beyond its final page.” —Elle
“Rupert Thomson charges [Katherine Carlyle] with such high-powered emotional intensity that it is impossible to put down…a stunning, thought-provoking novel…We should read it and then read everything else by this very fine writer.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Unsettling, hypnotic…compulsively readable…startling and refreshing in its originality…after he draws us skillfully into Katherine’s mysterious quest, [Rupert Thomson] renders us unable to look away.” —Miami Herald
“Thomson’s simply stated prose is made richer by the flaws of Kit’s character, resulting in an honest and worthy story of self-discovery.” —Booklist
“Katherine Carlyle is an oddly compelling heroine whose eccentric disappearing act becomes a journey of self-discovery. This is a novel with panache.” —Library Journal
“Katherine Carlyle is mesmerizing—in all senses of the word. Rupert Thomson’s prose is gracefully crafted; it’s a transfixing, intriguing adventure…From the bustling, alluring and sometimes dangerous underbelly of Berlin to the isolated and grimy, yet somehow magical, settlement on Svalbard, he deftly draws us into vivid landscapes and adventures, again and again.” —New York Daily News
“Katherine Carlyle left me stunned and amazed. Thomson’s ability to create a world that feels entirely original and untouched by any other mind is at full strength in this strange and haunting book. The story proceeds with perfect logic from mystery to mystery, and takes the reader with it, unable to stop reading or guess where it will go next. The title character is utterly convincing, and her quest expresses with great clarity and power the strangeness of her origins. It’s a masterpiece.” —Philip Pullman, best-selling author of the His Dark Materials trilogy
“Smart, stylish, inventive, and always entertaining, Rupert Thomson displays enormous range as a novelist. His prose is consistently sharp, his ideas consistently intriguing. I would read any book that Thomson wrote.” —Lionel Shriver, best-selling author of Big Brother and We Need to Talk About Kevin
“Rupert Thomson’s twilight worlds have long enchanted many readers, and this road trip through a snow dome of mesmeric hallucinations is Thomson at his best.” —Richard Flanagan, author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North, winner of the 2015 Man Booker Prize
“If the mind best comprehends the heart through metaphor, what new ways of imagining ourselves and our loves are offered by technologies earlier undreamt of? This is the question Rupert Thomson seeks to answer in this stealthy, intelligent, surreptitiously affective novel. With a narrative that moves from the sophisticated milieux of Rome and Berlin to the startling lower reaches of the Arctic Circle, delivered in prose that is spare, cinematic and masterfully controlled, Katherine Carlyle is at once seductively contemporary and suggestively fable-like: Frozen for grown-ups.” —Rebecca Mead, author of My Life in Middlemarch
“This riveting and visionary story haunted me long after I finished the last page. Katherine Carlyle is an extraordinary novel.” —Deborah Moggach, best-selling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
“Written with the pace and detail of a spy novel, sleek and oddly honest, this is the fascinating story of Katherine Carlyle who mysteriously decides that instead of university and a privileged life she will erase her identity and much of her emotions and go untraceably to the most remote settlement of the Russian north. She is not seeking love. She is determined to have abandoned it.” —James Salter, author of All That Is

A narrator who opens her story by telling how she was deep frozen for eight years as an IVF embryo awaiting implantation into her mother is certainly not going to give you the same old same old. And when Kit Carlyle, now nineteen, wanders around Rome feeling that odd objects found in the street are secret messages addressed to her by fate, you either conclude that so crazy a character is not for you, or stick with her and see where she takes you. Fortunately, I chose the latter, watching as she picks up a stranger in the Stazione Termini like an assignation between spies, goes with him to an hotel, then shrugs him off with equal ease. Before long, a chance conversation overheard in a movie theater causes her to take out all her money, drown her cell phone, erase her traces, and move to Berlin. And thence to Arkhangel’sk. And thence to Svalbard above the Arctic Circle.
At each stage, she bumps into people in bizarre coincidental ways. And in each case, she goes with the flow for a while and then moves on. She calls it "experimenting with coincidence." Somewhere in all of this, there is a path that she is meant to take, a final destination that will lead her to herself, revealing who she really is. We see her as liberated, bright, and resourceful, but essentially alone. Her mother died a few years earlier of cancer. Her father is a celebrated television reporter, rarely at home. Her moving into the unknown is both a punishment for him and a test to see if he cares enough to find her. The further away she gets, the more she indulges in imagining him following her trail, a scenario she fills out in such detail that it has almost more reality than her own life in these remote places.

Often in clinical trials particularly oncology trials time-to-event are the endpoints of primary interest. The endpoint could be time of death, time to remittance, time to recurrence or something else. In the recent RE-LY trial which was a stroke prevention trial the dual primary endpoints were time-to-an-occurrence of stroke and time-to-a-major bleeding episode. It seems almost always the case that the study will involved estimating these parameters based on data the include a lot of right-censoring. So the methods of survival or relaibility analysis come to play an imprtant role. Usually if the events are rare the sample size requirement will be large because power of the test of differences between two groups is dictated by the number of events which then requires large sample size s to achieve the requisite number of events. The RE-LY trial was a noninferiority trial with three equal size treatment arms and rare event occurrences. So thid trial required approximately 18000 subjects with 600 in each group. Such trials are long, difficult to administer and very expensive. So often the time-to-event endpoint is replaced by a surrogate endpoint.
Karl Peace has edited and contributed to a very timely volume on the design and analysis of time-to-event endpoints in clinical trials. This book can serve as a text or a reference for biostatisticians and particularly those involved in clinical trials, especially oncology trials. A number of authors with a lot of experience with such trials were chosen to contribute to this volume. The first 6 chapters are introductory and mostly overviews of a particular methodology. Chapter 1 by Peace,is a general overview of the topic and an introdcution to what is included in the remaining chapters.

Often in clinical trials particularly oncology trials time-to-event are the endpoints of primary interest. The endpoint could be time of death, time to remittance, time to recurrence or something else. In the recent RE-LY trial which was a stroke prevention trial the dual primary endpoints were time-to-an-occurrence of stroke and time-to-a-major bleeding episode. It seems almost always the case that the study will involved estimating these parameters based on data the include a lot of right-censoring. So the methods of survival or relaibility analysis come to play an imprtant role. Usually if the events are rare the sample size requirement will be large because power of the test of differences between two groups is dictated by the number of events which then requires large sample size s to achieve the requisite number of events. The RE-LY trial was a noninferiority trial with three equal size treatment arms and rare event occurrences. So thid trial required approximately 18000 subjects with 600 in each group. Such trials are long, difficult to administer and very expensive. So often the time-to-event endpoint is replaced by a surrogate endpoint.
Karl Peace has edited and contributed to a very timely volume on the design and analysis of time-to-event endpoints in clinical trials. This book can serve as a text or a reference for biostatisticians and particularly those involved in clinical trials, especially oncology trials. A number of authors with a lot of experience with such trials were chosen to contribute to this volume. The first 6 chapters are introductory and mostly overviews of a particular methodology. Chapter 1 by Peace,is a general overview of the topic and an introdcution to what is included in the remaining chapters.
