Product Description

Synopsis
George MacDonald Fraser's famous Flashman series appearing for the first time in B-format with an exciting new series style, ready to please his legions of old fans and attract armies of new ones. The illustrious Flashy gets up to his old tricks in another installment of The Flashman Papers. 'Forward the Light Brigade' Was there a man dismayed? Indeed there was. As the British cavalry prepared to launch themselves against the Russian guns at Balaclava, Harry Flashman was not so much dismayed as terrified. But the Crimea was only the beginning: beyond lay snowbound wastes of the Great Russian slave-empire, torture and death from relentless enemies, headlong escapes, savage tribal hordes to the right of him, passionate and beautiful females to the left of him, and finally that unknown but desperate war on the roof of the world, when India was the mighty prize and there was nothing to stop the armed might of Imperial Russia but the wavering sabre and terrified ingenuity of old Flashy himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Class, 14 Mar 2006
This review is from: Flashman at the Charge (Flashman 07) (Paperback)
Flashman is somehow likeable despite being a complete cad and coward. To understand this is to somehow understand why these books are so incredibly enjoying and enthralling as we watch him stumble blindly from one real-life military disaster to another. This episode though is head and shoulders abover the rest for sheer vigour as he is sent spiralling across Russia from the mouth of the valley of death.

I thoroughly recommend this book to all and sundry.

5.0 out of 5 stars ..the jingle of bells and soft creak of leather.., 19 Feb 2003
By R. Thomas "triggerfish999" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I confess to having read all of the Flashman books. They are all brilliant, some slightly more so than others. This (in my opinion) is one of his best tales. The feeling that you are with Flashy all the way is sometimes palpable, especially during the build up to the Charge of the Light Brigade. I felt as if I was there, hearing the creak of saddles and the jingle of harnesses, in the moments before the charge. The writing is at times very fine indeed: undoubtedly people will be reading these books in a 100 years time. They are classics and they are hilariously funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it!, 21 Oct 2006
This review is from: Flashman at the Charge (Flashman 07) (Paperback)
I love the George MacDonald Fraser Flashman series and this is my favourite one - the Great Game being second. The historical accuracy is spot on as usual and the books always keep me laughing and thoroughly amused all the way through! Not going to bother going into all the detail, plots etc.. because the simple message is that you need to buy a Flashman book and from one keen reader to another I promise you you will not regret it. Read it now!
