Flashman and the Seawolf

Flashman and the Seawolf introduces a new member of the Flashman family and provides an illuminating insight into life in Georgian England and the extraordinary adventures of one of Britain's least known but inspirational naval commanders.

From the brothels and gambling dens of London, through political intrigues and espionage, the action moves to the Mediterranean and the real life character of Thomas Cochrane. This book covers the start of Cochrane's career including the most astounding single ship action of the Napoleonic war.

Thomas Flashman provides a unique insight as danger stalks him like a persistent bailiff through a series of adventures that prove history really is stranger than fiction.
