I read this series long before there were kindles and loved them. All eight of them are so interesting.I have been waiting what seems for ever for them to come in an ebook. Now I can read them on my Kindle. Each book continues with the story and the book that came before it.John Jakes is a great author and really nails the history part of the books. He has written a few series that are now available in ebooks and I can not wait to read them. All of his books are exellent to read.
