i love john jakes kent family novels but i have to say the rebels was the least of the books.very little war happens in it and the two main people the novel follows never meet.
well the mini-series takes care of all of that and is a very good rousing adventure story with a great cast and the best sound track of any of the jakes mini-series. andrew stevens once again plays philip kent and is joined by a young don johnson as judson flecher. the action flows nicely in this one and the cast is great. do yourself a favor and check this one out.

i read the book first and saw the mini-series when i was first run and i think the movie does the book one better.in the book may things are different such as philip and judson flecher never meet and philip doesn't fight very much in the war. the book is pure soap and the movie is a rousing action filled story. it moves at a quick pace and it keeps you glued to the screen the whole time so give this movie a chance and i think you will be very happy with the time you spend with it.

For one thing, in Jakes' novel Philip Kent and Judson Fletcher never meet! We are also given a totally different fate for Philip's wife Anne, and many characters who had returned from "The Bastard" in the novel, such as Alicia Amberly and Captain Will Caleb are nowhere to be found in this adaptation, robbing it of some of its depth. On top of that we get a too abrupt subplot invented for the film of Philip's ... Read More
