The Warriors

A family builds an empire amid murder, betrayal, and the Civil War, in this saga by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of North and South. With the Civil War reaching its gory climax, the divided Kent family is pushed to the edge of complete destruction. With the advent of the transcontinental Union Pacific Railroad, the Kents continue to fight for their foothold among America's wealthy founding families. While their private, insular war rages, young Jeremiah Kent is tempted by a calculating Southern belle into a trap of deceit, lust, and murder. There's no turning back as the Kents' destiny is set on an irreversible course alongside the great rebirth of America in The Warriors from John Jakes, "the godfather of historical novelists" (Los Angeles Times).This ebook features an illustrated biography of John Jakes including rare images from the author's personal collection. Praise for The Kent Family Chronicles "The Kents' story remains memorable for many reasons, but it remains necessary because its protagonists understand that American ideals aren't simply what we profess to believe but how we choose to live and the price we are willing to pay for those choices." —New York Times The Kent Family Chronicles The Bastard (#1) The Rebels (#2) The Seekers (#3) The Furies (#4) The Titans (#5) The Warriors (#6) The Lawless (#7) The Americans (#8)
