Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: One man?s quest for his destiny leads him to the New World and into the heart of the American Revolution. Meet Phillipe the illegitimate son and unrecognised 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.
