Description
About the Book
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.Book Synopsis
"A jolly read."--The Wall Street Journal The tenth installment in The Flashman Papers finds Captain Harry Flashman of Her Majesty's Secret Service in the antebellum South, where the irrepressible, globe-trotting Victorian becomes the target of blackmailing beauties. Evading danger, bedding women, and profiting from every opportunity, Flashman once again weasels his way into history, this time in John Brown's raid of Harper's Ferry, just before the Civil War. As a result of Flashy's letching, lying, cheating, and stealing on land, on sea, and on the rails, not only did John Brown become a martyr, Lincoln became president, and the nation plunged into a bloodbath.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
