The inimitable and appallingly appealing Flashy is back, in a long-awaited new installment of The Flashman Papers.

When the memoirs of Sir Harry Flashman, the notorious Victorian soldier and scoundrel, first came to light 30 years ago, it was finally revealed what had become of the infamous bully who had darkened Tom Brown's school days. Now, three new episodes in the career of this eminently disreputable adventurer place us at the center of pivotal historical events - the attempted assassination of Emperor Franz Josef in the 1880s, the Prince of Wales's involvement in the Tranby Croft gambling scandal, and the military disaster at Rorke's Drift in South Africa - as the aging but agile Flashy is pitted against one of the greatest villains of his day.

Thrown into contact with assorted grand royalty and even grander tarts, he must test his wits against political heavyweights, including Bismarck, as he becomes eyewitness to the uncensored truth about two of the greatest heroes of his time.

Superb entertainment - all verve, dash, meticulous historical detail, and wildly infectious enthusiasm.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This new book is light, clever, and comical." (The New York Times Book Review)

"Not only are the Flashman books extremely funny, but they give meticulous care to authenticity. You can, between the guffaws, learn from them." (The Washington Post)

I've been reading Flashman since the '80s. He's a canny old reprobate with advantageous talents. He's lived through nearly every military engagement since Tom Brown's School Days on every continent. I've learned more history from Fraser than my teachers. Fraser has Flashman down to a science (fabulous characterization) and so does David Case. Mr Case portrays men and women of several nationalities flawlessly. Listeners beware: this material was written about a time when cultural and social mores were completely different than now. Still, this presentation is well worth a credit.

Fraser and Case: A winning combination

George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series is like Ian Fleming's James Bond series, only better. He reminds me in some ways of Kipling in his story telling ability. It is a pleasure listening to the way Fraser can take a simple incident and present it with elegance, suspense and humor. And David Case's reading complements this perfectly.

Five stars for sure!

Three more adventures in the chronicles of Flashman. While these portray him in his later years, his essential character is unchanged - which should be celebrated by all Flashman enthusiasts.

I am a huge fan of all things Flashman, I have the entire series in both print and from Books on Tape. This is probably my least favorite book of the series and it is unfortunate that this is the only selection avaialbe from Audible, its not a bad book by any means, it just is not the strongest of the series. David Case IS Flashman- he has done a splendid job with all of the readings. I look forward to the balance of the series being added to the Audible Library! I also acquired this book as a tape from Books on Tape and the tape quality was poor- the Audible version is better.

Flashman remains my favorite series!

Not quite a Tiger

This was the last of the series and a fitting conclusion to many hours of pleasure. David Case is a star worth following.

… Because the books are ones to be read again and again… And certainly David cases delivery is unparalleled. What a combination. Humor, history and eloquence all wrapped up in one, not my favorite of the series, but that’s like saying I prefer Tom Sawyer to Huck Finn. George McDonald Fraser is a master.

So sad, I came late to Flashman…

I've read/listed to several Flashman books and this is by far his weakest. Three unrelated stories none of which are very good. The narrator who reads the other Flashman books does a better job than David Case. Can't really recommend it.

His weakest one

A wondrous exception! An imaginative dash thru historical situations makes for an amazingly fast paced, humorous read. Took a few minutes to get used to the readers pace, and tone, but after that, really liked him, also. Not for the prudish, but sexual situations are well written, and in good fun, not some sort of thrown in appeal to teenage prurient interest. Check out Amazon for reviews of the author's other Flashman novels. Can only pray they will add his other Flashman books. Perhaps not Fraser's best, but excellent nonetheless. More humor than the O'Brian books, and as good, in their own way.

But I hate Anti-heroes!?

This volume of the Flashman memoirs contains two superb stories (Baccarat & Tiger) and one that's much less captivating (the first and longest, about Franz Joseph). But all three stories are immensely enjoyable for one reason: the narrator has captured the voice of Flashman perfectly. He also does a very good Elspeth. I can only hope that David Case will some day narrate the best of the Flashman books: Flash for Freedom.
