Jack Absolute - first UK edition
by C.C. Humphries - signed
The brilliant first outing for a new kind of war hero... In 1777, Jack
Absolute is famous ... as the dashing lover in Sheridan's famous comedy THE
RIVALS. However, this notoriety comes as something of a shock to the REAL Jack
Absolute when he disembarks at Portsmouth after four months at sea, and seven
years in India... Thus we meet the dashing Mister Absolute - rogue, duellist,
charmer and Captain in the Light Dragoons. In the War of Independence, Jack has
to leave London in a hurry after a duel goes hideously wrong. But he soon finds
himself in a fight for his life in the colonies.
Book has purple boards with gold printing on the spine. Signed by the author on
the title page; a fine, signed first edition.
Jacket is also fine, protected, price-intact at £9.99.
