The Great Absolute - Kindle Fiction

The Great Absolute 
by Hereward L.M. Proops 

The year is 1870: Britain is the centre of the world. As the technological marvels of the Victorian age help to shape the face of Empire, so too they begin to undermine the foundations of rural life. Whilst there are those who wish to embrace the new technologies, there are also those who want nothing more than a return to the old ways, at any cost.

When Captain Johnson Roehampton attempts to begin a new life his dream of an idyllic pastoral existence is shattered when his efforts to modernise his late uncle’s farm are sabotaged by a mysterious figure. But who or what is Green Jack? As Roehampton struggles to answer this question, he finds himself entangled in an adventure of strange traditions, brutal murders and old gods. Will he prevail or will the secrets of his own past catch up with him?

"The Great Absolute" is a supernatural thriller set against the historical backdrop of the decline of agriculture in Britain in the late-nineteenth century. Combining historical fact and fast-paced action, the novel sheds light on the customs and traditions of a forgotten rural past and offers a new perspective on one of the most popular English folk motifs, the foliate head of the Green Man.
