The Lawless

The Civil War is over, but the Kent family's good fortune is threatened in this novel by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of North and South. From John Jakes, "the godfather of historical novelists" (Los Angeles Times), the penultimate volume in the stirring Kent Family Chronicles finds America booming in its postwar prosperity. With this newly secured peace comes an opportunity for the Kent family to reconcile and to thrive, both personally and financially. Gideon Kent takes up his father's vow to reunite the family, but when he brings his father's widow back into the fold, the repercussions seem insurmountable. Against the backdrop of a recovering nation, the Kents face dramatic challenges and unexpected rifts that could leave the family shattered for years to come. 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)
