Product Description
“Flashman strikes again… Wonderful… hilarious.”—USA Today Lusting after a clergyman’s wife, smuggling opium to Hong Kong, coupling with an Amazonian woman river pirate, groveling before a ruthless warlord, and becoming the sexual plaything of the most beautiful and evil woman in the world, Harry Flashman, the supreme antihero of the Victorian era, is ready to rise to the occasion to matter what depths of dishonor he must plumb. In this uninhibited and uproarious adventure, Flashman is once again at his irascible best.
Customer Reviews
Another captivating episode. Surprisingly, well written; in fact, rivals the first Flashman volume. Flashman's narcissistic self-absorption incites laughter, as he persistently seeks to mask his cowardly slothful nature, by appearing as a macho patriotic hero. His rationale: "The principal aim, remember, is to win the greatest possible credit to yourself, which calls not only for the exclusion of anything that might damage you, but also for the judicious understatement of those things which tell in your favour, if any; brush 'em aside, never boast, let appearances speak for themselves" (p. 262). A dastardly conniving rogue.
