A new historical adventure series starring the dashing Jack
Absolute that has already been called "the finest historical
novels since O'Brian." (Good Book Guide UK) In 1777 Jack Absolute, the charming lover in Sheridan's
comedy The Rivals, is famous throughout London. However,
this notoriety comes as something of a shock to the real
Jack Absolute when he arrives in England after four months
at sea. But there's barely time for outrage before he finds
himself dueling for his life. Even worse, as soon as he's
won the duel he's forced to flee London by the quickest
means possible, becoming a spy in America's war of Independence. Thus we meet Jack Absolute - rogue, duellist, charmer and
Captain in the Light Dragoons. From the field of honor in
London through the pivotal battle of Saratoga to a hunt for
a double agent in wintry Philadelphia, this novel marks the
impressive debut of this new series.
