Jack Colman (author)

Jack Colman is a British author. His debut novel The Rule was released in 2015.

The Rule
Colman says that the idea for his novel came as he was attending a lecture at King's College, London where the lecturer made a comment on how past societies could have been governed with just one rule. Colman worked on the idea and book while studying and working as a corporate lawyer in London. He then submitted it to HarperVoyager's open submission process for sci-fi and fantasy. 15 books were selected from 5,000 entries, including The Rule.

The Rule is set in a Viking kingdom called Hellvik. It was released on e-book and paperback in 2015.
