Flash for Freedom‪!‬

Flashman must choose – politcs in London or slave trading in Africa – not that it matters really in this hilarious third installement of the Flashman Papers

When Flashman was inveigled into a game of pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future – would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade? Was there, for that matter, very much difference?

Once again Flashman’s charm, cowardice, treachery, lechery and fleetness of foot see the lovable rogue triumph by the skin of his chattering teeth.

Reviews

“The Flashman books bristle with action…and they are very, very funny.”
The Times

“George Macdonald Fraser is going great guns, and, happy thought, he still has some fifty years of the rascal’s misdeeds to regale us with.”
Daily Telegraph
