Story4.5 out of 5 stars 84
Mark Franklin came from the American West to Edwardian England with two long-barrelled .44s in his baggage and a fortune in silver in the bank. Where he had got it and what he was looking for no one could guess, although they wondered -- at Scotland Yard, in City offices, in the glittering theatreland of the West End, in the highest circles of Society (even King Edward was puzzled) and in the humble pub at Castle Lancing.

It's 1814, and Napoleon is hard-pressed to defend France from a combination of Russia, Prussia, Austria and Britain. Nor is he the only one in a quandary. Matthew Hervey, a young British cornet, is in a rather unusual situation. As far as he knows, it's highly irregular to be arrested on a battlefield after a successful action. Still, it's hardly the first time politics has interrupted war, and as Hervey's career progresses, he increasingly balances both, sometimes more successfully than others!

The Great Game between Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia was fought across desolate terrain from the Caucasus to China, over the lonely passes of the Parmirs and Karakorams, in the blazing Kerman and Helmund deserts, and through the caravan towns of the old Silk Road - both powers scrambling to control access to the riches of India and the East. When play first began, the frontiers of Russia and British India lay 2000 miles apart; by the end, this distance had shrunk to 20 miles at some points.

Fresh aboard the tall-masted Ariadne, Midshipman Lewrie heads for the war-torn Americas, finding - rather unexpectedly - that he is a born sailor, equally at home with the randy pleasures of the port and the raging battles on the high seas. But in a hail of cannonballs comes a bawdy surprise.

This, the first in the splendid series of Jack Aubrey novels, establishes the friendship between Captain Aubrey, Royal Navy, and Stephen Maturin, ship's surgeon and intelligence agent, against the thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Details of life aboard a man-of-war in Nelson's navy are faultlessly rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck, the food, the floggings, the mysteries of the wind and the rigging, and the road of broadsides as the great ships close in battle.

Another remarkabe tale of Harry Flashman, coward
Harry Flashman is the most compelling cruel coward and erstwhile adventurer. This is #4 in the series, so if you don't know the character I recommend you start with the first volume in the series.
In this book Flashman returns to the cavalry and it starts with his his service during the Crimean War, most notably his actions during the Charge of the Light Brigade. After that his adventures continue across Russia and Central Asia. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but the story is always interesting and in motion.
The book is performed by David Case, also known as Frederick Davidson, one of my favorite audiobook performers. He is extremely easy to listen to, and has a masterful approach to voice work that keeps all of the characters distinct and interesting.
If you are a fan of the Flashman Papers series already you will not regret this addition to your library, but again if you aren't familiar with the series I urge you to start with number one. It's not a requirement though, everything you need to know about the character is contained herein, and while it refers to many of the other stories in the series the adventure here is self contained enough for a newcomer to enjoy as well.

Flashman is a historical Forrest Gump. Wildly entertaining (if not a bit politically incorrect) although parts of the story might make you flench, the unblinking depictions give insight into many otherwise unknown- lost to history events, all in colorful style. Highly recommend!
