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.
