John Christopher: Wild Jack

Along the lines of John Christophers fascination with the everpresent struggle between the status quo and the individual, fertile and important ground for aspiring adults to live through, Wild Jack is one of those unfortunately out of print books which must be brought back into print. Written after the 1960s and in the closing mists of the era of the Chinese Revolution and the Communist Threat, its one of those rare books in no way about the lording of Western Civ over the Eastern Bloc.
