The Blooding of Jack Absolute by Chris Humphreys
The making of a new hero: the brilliant prequel to JACK ABSOLUTE... Jack Absolute is also the subject of a brand new play JACK ABSOLUTE FLIES AGAIN
As swash-buckling as a young Errol Flynn, languidly escaping death with the ease of a teenage James Bond, this is a roaring adventure whose pages are remorselessly consumedIn this prequel, Humphreys begins the finest series of historical novels since O'Brian * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
Jack escapes death more often than James Bond ... an exciting romp * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
A coming-of-age novel that ticks all the boxes - adventure, drama, wit, style and sheer enjoyment * DAILY RECORD *
C.C. Humphreys brings the ribald, pleasure-seeking excesses of the regency period gloriously to life in this splendid romp... great rollicking fun * YORKSHIRE EVENING POST *
Brilliantly combines meticulous research with a breakneck pace and a terrific sense of humour... If I read a more enjoyable historical novel this year you can stick me in a snowed up cave with only bear-meat to chew on and a copy of Hamlet to keep me sane * HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW *
It is not often that one looks forward to a prequel with such yearning, but in this case THE BLOODING OF JACK ABSOLUTE is one those rare exceptions to the rule... He is a swashbuckler to rival all others and has the soul of a warrior. He is for me a devastating character that grows on you page by page to the extent that you crave more. Settle down, enjoy, and sink into the exciting and somewhat vulnerable life of spy-extraordinaire Jack Absolute * SHOTS MAGAZINE *
