Description:
Captain Harry Flashman's covert missions for Her Majesty's Secret Service have taken him all over the globe--Afghanistan, Borneo, Madagascar, Indian and China--but never before has he encountered so formidable a challenge and attempted to rise to it with such hilarious ineptitude as in his latest adventure.
Review Quotes: Praise for the Flashman series
"Hilariously funny."--The New York Times Book Review
"Great dirty fun!"--
Grand Rapids Press "The most entertaining anti-hero in a long time... Moves from one ribald and deliciously corrupt episode to the next... Wonderful and scandalous."--
Publishers Weekly "Raises dastardliness to the level of an art... One of the most amusing and sardonic novels I have ever read!"--
Omaha World "As irreverent and picaresque as
Tom Jones and always more dramatic... Flashman is a one-man demolition squad!"--
Chicago Today "Marvelously entertaining... A delight!"--
Providence Journal
