The first instalment of the Flashman Papers sees the fag-roasting rotter from Tom Brown's Schooldays commence his military career as a reluctant secret agent in Afghanistan. Expelled from Rugby for drunkenness, and none too welcome at home after seducing his father's mistress, the young Flashman embarks on a military career with Lord Cardigan's Hussars. En route to Afghanistan, our hero hones his skills as a soldier, duellist, imposter, coward and amorist (mastering all 97 ways of Hindu love-making during a brief sojourn in Calcutta), before being pressed into reluctant service as a secret agent. His Afghan adventures culminate in a starring role in that great historic disaster, the Retreat from Kabul.

Flashman, or how scum rises to the top.
Amongst other things George Macdonald Fraser wrote the Bond film, Octopussy. That was very good, but the 12 Flashman novels were his greatest achievement and it can only be a matter of time before some corporate man of letters realises that they could be as good and as successful as Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series. Get ahead of the game and treat yourself to the life of a Victorian coward who became a General with a VC. I can't help feeling that he should have gone into politics, after all, he has the charm and morals of pond life. Honestly, these are not to be missed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
