With the end of the colonies' fight for independence begins a new and even more glorious battle to build a new nation.

Rate Out Of Books The Seekers (Kent Family Chronicles #3)

I enjoy the Kent Family chronicles but this was a sad read; Abraham was an interesting character and I hated to see his story as it played out, would have like to have seen him on the stage a little longer. Phillip is much different than his character in the first two books and it is sad to not see any of this story really from his character's point of view. The remaining story is interesting, well researched, and vividly depicted; historical figures weave their way into our main characters'

This isn't a bad book, in fact it kept me turning the pages the same way the first two books in the series did. But, I can't say I enjoyed it, which is disappointing. No one is happy in this book, ever. And nothing good happens to them, at all. I understand putting your characters through the proverbial ringer, but you have to have an emotional breather in there once in a while...I also didn't like how drastically changed the character of Phillip was at the beginning, and the "raised as brother

Phillip is now an old(er) man. His children are grown or nearly and his success and influence is established throughout Boston. All his hard work has not been for naught. He is among the most wealthy and influential people in Boston and influence is far and wide. Unfortunately, all that Phillip has worked so hard for is not what his eldest child, Abraham wants. After marrying, he strikes out for the West and to make a life of his own. Sadly the West is untamed and tragedy exists everywhere.

Added 5/11/12.I have read the first 2 volumes of the Kent Family Chronicles. This is the 3rd. I started this one on or about 6/10/12.7/29/30 - I finally finished reading this book. It was an enjoyable read even though I wasn't able to give it the time it deserved because I was busy with other things. Nevertheless, each time I returned to it I was immediately engaged in the story. Jakes knows how to tell a good story!On to Volume 4, The Furies!

An excellent edition to the series, but it's a lot darker than the first two. Still, it was realistic enough & Jakes drops plenty of historical facts through the characters' eyes. Well done. I need to take a break to read another book, but intend to continue re-reading this series soon.

Volume 3 of the Kent Family Chronicles starts out with Abraham Kent and then moves on to cover his son Jared Kent and his adventures with his cousin Amanda Kent. This work of historical fiction cover the late 1700s and the early 1800s. Jakes does a good job of weaving a page turning story in with the history of what was going on in the United States at the time. I am looking forward to reading Volume 4 The Furies.

Volume 3 of the American Bicentennial Series (The Kent Family Chronicles) deals with the second generation Kents and a new and ever growing country. Westward expansion and the men that legends were made of, color this fast-moving and engaging novel. Many may find the actions as brutal as their perpetrators are beastly but that was the west. The settlers moving westward tamed the country and made it into a nation. In John Jakes fashion figures of American history are brought to life and
