One man’s quest for his destiny leads him to the New World and into the heart of the American Revolution.

Meet Phillipe Charboneau: the illegitimate son and unrecognized heir of the Duke of Kentland. Upon the Duke’s death, Phillipe is denied his birthright and left to build a life of his own. Seeking all that the New World promises, he leaves London for America, shedding his past and preparing for the future by changing his name to Philip Kent. He arrives at the brink of the American Revolution, which tests his allegiances in ways he never imagined. The first volume of John Jakes’s wildly successful and highly addictive Kent Family Chronicles, The Bastard is a triumph of historical fiction.

"Je suis une sale garce, tu ne peux pas me tuer" - Phillipe Charboneau"I'm a bad bitch, you can't kill me." - Philip KentHoly hell, my history loving soul needed this story.This book was long, this book was intense, this book was extremely well paced, and this book was....well...let's just say it had that bitter after taste that sits in the mouth after consuming something problematic. But I'll get to that in a minuteFirst, what is this book about?The Bastard follows the story of Phillipe

IntriguingI enjoy historical literature immensely, especially when written in a manner that makes me believe these historical people were real. John Jake's does that for me.

It's really hard for me to rate this accurately because (and I know this is bizarre) this was one of my absolute favorite books when I was in middle school. I was so big on the Bicentennial Series that it's hard for me to see it clearly.So. The prose does not hold up. The characters are kind of hilarious in their sexism. But my affection for hearing this story again is pretty unmatched, so: FOUR STARS, DAMMIT.

In the very first chapter of The Bastard, we have the main character having a Symbolic Dream about his Destiny, wondering why hes Different from Anyone Else in this poor provincial town, getting beaten up by bullies, and losing his virginity to a maidservant, who forces wine down his throat and basically rapes him in his mothers hayloft.Once I read this chapter, I had a pretty good idea of what I was in for.

Sometime later I bought the next two from a book club, so they were hard cover, then the rest as they became available, again in paperback. We both enjoyed them and sometimes discussed them, but I don't remember what exactly. The seventies are a while back.What I do remember is reading the first and second books: "The Bastard" and "The Rebels." I liked all

When my septuagenarian coworker recommended this series that came out before I was born, I was skeptical, never having heard of it or its author. Seeing as she also recommended Outlander to me, which I love, I gave The Bastard a shot. Boy, am I glad I did. I am ashamed to say that once I studied American Revolutionary War history in elementary school, I have since hardly given it a passing thought--until I read this book. It puts the blood, sweat, and tears of the people who worked tirelessly to
