Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Unexpected pleasure
I didn’t expect this to be so in keeping with the Flashman papers, it is and it’s an unexpected pleasure to read. Well done and thank you for keeping the Flashman family story going.
Another Flashman
I have loved reading about Flashman again. Oh how i missed the novels by GMF and this is a good addition to the range. I hope, like The original books, these just get better as i progress through them.
Enjoyable read
Whilst not the same complete pedigree as the Flashman papers the story does get going and the historical setting is well done. Would recommend as a good read for any Flashman addict.
