First off I should mention that I did not buy this book off eBay. But I am going to include it on my list of books that I have read for the year. That and I got it on a fantastic sale at Borders. So it's almost like buying it used.Flashy is a bit of a coward mixed in with a cocky James Bond womanizer. The whole book kept an humorous tone which was rather funny. Thankfully when he was 'rogering' some female it was kept rather silly and non to detailed. I liked the history put in the book. There were three appendixes and fifty-six side notes. And even though there was all that added information it did not at all feel like a history book. Not that Flashy was ever a real person. After reading this book I would love to read The Pyrates written by the same author. Or even some more of the Flashman series would be okay.
History's most unheroic hero, Harry Flashman, is back. In this latest adventure, Flashy deals with a ravishing maharani and her equally sex-hungry maid, joins forces with an American adventurer with royal ambitions, and attempts to win the brightest jewel in England's imperial crown at the cost of something he will never miss-namely, his honor.
