“Marvelously entertaining… A delight!”—Providence Journal

great historical humor.

One of the best flashman books with all the adventure and excitement that we have come to expect.

Absolutely outstanding! A rollicking romp through forgotten history.

George MacDonald Fraser is a highly entertaining author of irreverent historical fiction and the reader could not have been better. A belly laugh through forgotten history.

Flashman Revels Again

Are his nine lives used up after this book? Revolts and rockets! Hashish and lovers! Wolves and women!! Battle after battle after battle he builds history (in his own cowardly way). Hard to top this tale!

Flashman at his best...

Absolutely loved listening to another tale of our hero Flashman! I've read the series in its entirety and am now loving listening to the recordings. David Case is a brilliant mouthpiece for Flashman and the characters he encounters. You cannot go wrong with any of the Flashman papers read by Mr. Case.

Great voice!

Flashman is one of the great figures in historic fiction. Very well performed by the reader ! Enjoyed it immensely !
