5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Yet !!!, April 15, 2003
This review is from: The Warriors (Kent Family Chronicles)
I found Book 6 of The Kent Family Chronicles-" The Warriors", to be the best so far.The Civil War is in its closing months and Jeremiah Kent, second son of Jephta, walks hundreds of miles to Georgia, following his promise to his dying commander,Captain Rose who is worried about the fates of his wife and daughter when the Union Army seizes his plantation.Serena Rose, the captains daughter, is an evil vindictive young woman who drives Jeremiah to such a state of madness that she virtually forces him to shoot her to save his life.Realising that this act has put him beyond the pale, he changes his name and joins forces with an Indian.The pair become buffalo hunters and eventually outlaws. Michael Boyle, former protege of Amanda Kent, joins the crew of a company building the Union Pacific railway, where he meets Hannah, the daughter of a whisky selling pedlar. They marry,move to her home state and proceed to build a successful business. Gideon, blinded in one eye, works in a railway yard but soon sees the injustices perpetrated on the workers who are frequently injured and is determined to begin a union. Loius Kent is heavily involved in fraudulent stockmarket manipulations and comes to his just desserts.

3.0 out of 5 stars First half of the book good but then it changes and it's boring and drags on, September 7, 2005
I would have to say this is not the best of the series but not the worse. The book is like to parts the first half of the book was really good with Jeremiah Kent following his promise to his dying commander,Captain Rose who is worried about the fates of his wife and daughter when the Union Army seizes his plantation he changes his name and joins forces with an Indian after an event at the plantation that changes his life forever. That part of the book was good after that the book gose doiwn hill Jeremiah becomes an outlaw. Then we see Michael Boyle where he meets Hannah, the daughter of a whisky selling pedlar. They marry,move to her home state and proceed to build a successful business. I find his story pointless and long. We alsos ee other family memebers of the Kents as they strugle to re-build the nation. I liked how they show a nation after the war you feel for the charactors. Overall it was a good book but still not the best.
