ReviewsPraise 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...

Synopsis"Horse riding, sword fighting, fistfights, escapes, chases... If anyone is looking for a successor to James Bond, Flashy is the one."-- The New York Times In Volume II of the Flashman Papers, Flashman tangles with femme fatale Lola Montez and the dastardly Otto Von Bismarck in a battle of wits which will decide the destiny of a continent. In this volume of The Flashman Papers, Flashman, the arch-cad and toady, matches his wits, his talents for deceit and malice, and above all his speed in evasion against the most brilliant European statesman and against the most beauiful and unscrupulous adventuress of the era. From London gaming-halls and English hunting-fields to European dungeons and throne-rooms, he is involved in a desperate succession of escapes, disguises, amours and (when he cannot avoid them) hand-to-hand combats. All the while, the destiny of a continent rests on his broad and failing shoulders.

  • What a Hoot!

    Flashy rides again - literally. It's fascinating to follow Flashman's crooked path through to various beds, battles, and awards. The accidental ways in which he finds the army's and the public's good for are hilarious.

  • Ribald history!

    Great story, that is not politically correct.
