When Jephtha Kent leaves his family to go north, the Kents come under the influence of Louis, the most opportunistic son. While the nation splits on secession and slavery, the Kents nearly fall to greed and self-interest. The Civil War divided families and friends and left wounds some of which are still not healed. That the Kents survived was a miracle: that they came through with vigor intact held great promise for the rich decades that lay ahead. The Titans is the fifth volume in the Kent Family Chronicles preceded by The Furies.

Any additional comments?
These comments address The Kent Family Chronicles, the entire series of eight books, in audiobook format. All books are narrated by Marc Vietor. The entire series is approximately 125 hours of listening. Shortest book is 15.5 hours, longest over 26 hours. Vietor does a good job with narration, although the uniqueness of male voices is problematic. Most significant, you’ll have little difficulty determining who-says-what-to-who. Tempo and pacing fine, albeit the narration is a bit slow for my taste, bumped it to 1.25.
The entire series is a broad spectrum history of the United States from just pre-Revolutionary War through the 1890s and a chronicle of the Kent family through this time. Beginning with Phillip through the generations to the children of Gideon, a great-great-grandson. Members of the clan fight in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, are at the Alamo, the California Gold Rush, the Great Chicago Fire, the Johnstown Flood, and much more. The author skillfully intersperses vignettes of imagined and factual history. For example, two of the fictional characters of the series are sheltered for a few days at the home of the Lincolns in rural Kentucky - a baby is part of the family, young Abraham. One of the fictional characters is counseled by Benjamin Franklin. Fiction, Phillip’s childhood friend is Marquis deLafayette, non-fiction: deLafayette’s role in United States and French military. The series is rife with this type of paradigm, but it is not difficult to determine what is true and what is fiction. All the instances that involve the Kents and John Jake’s other fictional characters are products of his imagination. Much of the rest is a fun methodology of conveying historical events.
The stories are very listenable. I found no need to re-wind or fast-forward; no segment boring or irrelevant. Theses books are not ‘love stories’ in the typical sense, albeit familial relationships, the crux of The Kent Family Chronicles, must include love stories, n'est-ce pas? In those areas where a sexual encounter is defined it is relevant to the plot and tastefully written. This does not occur often, but the clan does proliferate :-). A word to the prudish: there are a couple of rapes vividly described.
Very typical of the time written, the 1970s, writing is a bit verbose. Several of these books were adapted for television mini-series, popular at the time.
John Jakes is a terrific historical fiction author, recommended. Enjoy!

Kent Series Starts Out as a Solid 5 out of 5....
Rating all 8 books in one rating here.
The series starts excellent with very believable characters who overcome and forge an American dynasty. Nothing changes with the characters being well written and believable; a favorite of mine. Historical characters are inserted in a very believable and excellent way.
Kent family gets very dilluted in the latter part of the series. Only interesting character in the final books is the gunslinger from the west. Note that he isn't a main character either.
Enjoyed the books prior to the Civil War the most, Civil War and Reconstruction were good, Industrial Revolution and Civil Rights books were hard to get through. Happy the series ended as I don't think another book would've been readable for me.
John Jakes is an excellent writer. The characters in the last books weren't worthy subject matter in my opinion. Other than that, well worth my investment and time.

Gideon Kent 2
Any additional comments?
BOOK: (Amazon Summary) The Kent Family Chronicles conclude with Gideon Kent in failing health and his heirs unready to uphold the family legacy of service when their country needs them most.
NARRATION: Marc Vietor narrates the entire series which is a plus. I like the consistency of hearing the same voice throughout the story line. The voices are well done, female and male are easily distinguishable.

5/5 for whole series
What an awesome book to wrap up what has been the best series of books I have come across. Gripping storyline that is never predictable and historically accurate to boot. And brilliantly narrated by Mark Vietor. I found myself never wanting the story to end and when it did, it almost brought a tear to my eye.
The Kent family may be fictional, but they provide a moral blueprint by which any decent person should aspire to!

Great series
Thoroughly enjoyable history lesson. I would love to see a further volume about the rise of the religious right in America contrasted with the rise of religious skepticism. Parallel with the rise of the religious right in Muslim Middle East.
