London 1759 and Jack's life is easy. A scholar at
Westminster School, a master with cricket bat or billiard
cue, the leader of a gang of bucks about the Town, he has
both a girl he worships …and a courtesan teaching him the
more basic arts of love. Yet he plans to give up all
carousing, sit the examinations for Cambridge, find a career
in any field he chooses. If he can just stay out of trouble
for one night…
From the billiard halls and brothels of London to a clash of
Empires on the Plains of Abraham, Jack's life is forever
altered by the tragedies of that night. Through duels,
battles, frantic escapes and a brutal winter spent in a cave
in Canada, the schoolboy will vanish, and a man appear.
But first he must learn to kill. To come of age, Jack
Absolute must be blooded.
