Fiction

Is it a rotter we see before us? A coward? A lecher? A cheat? An absolute bounder? And possibly not even a gentleman? Yes, it's Flashman.

-right in the middle of Europe's Revolutions of 1848 - and he's using all his reserves of deceit, low cunning and treachery to stay one jump ahead of death! The incomparable Flashman is playing for his life against the unholy alliance of Count Otto von Bismarck and Lola Montez, as he tries to thwart a gigantic international double-cross that could change the destiny of a continent!
