Product Description

Review

'As well as providing a fine assortment of treats, George MacDonald Fraser is a marvellous reporter and a first-rate historical novelist' Kingsley Amis


Product Description

Shirking the defence of the Indian frontier in the First Sikh War, Flashman opts for secret service in the court of a nymphomaniac Maharani who wears the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond in her navel. Volume IX of the Flashman Papers. With the mighty Sikh army poised to invade India, every able-bodied man was needed to defend Britannia's frontier. When the Call of Duty came, Flashman had his answer ready: 'I'll drown in blood first!' Alas for poor Flashy there was no avoiding the terrors of secret service in the debauched and intrigue-ridden court of the Punjab, the attentions of its beautiful nymphomaniac Maharani, the horrors of its torture chambers, or the dread influence of the Mountain of Light.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another true classic, 30 April 2000
I am nearly halfway through the collection and this one based on the great battles for northern India continually matches the detailed content and fast paced humour that has become a trademark for our Great British hero Flashman and of course George MacDonald Fraser. Start with the original Flashman novel and work through them to this, you will be most amused!

5.0 out of 5 stars Flashman's India Adventure (part 4 of 12), 11 Oct 2007
By Mr. William Oxley "oxenblocks" (Farnham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Flashman has no time to recover from his exploits in Madagascar (Flashman's Lady) and he has to say goodbye to his wife Elspeth for now.

With the British Empire at its zenith in the 1840's the geographical scope for adventures as part of the British Army are worldwide. Here Flashman is whisked off to India, and somehow volunteers for a secret service mission in the court of the beautiful nyphomaniac Maharani. Our lovable rogue, Flashman, is jumping out of one bed and into another, and out of one frying pan and into another. Will he never learn!

Pick this book up now. The fast paced action, wanton women, colourful charactors, military jingoism, and more wanton women, will ensure that you keep the pages turning. So read on and discover whether Flashman can secure the India border of the British Empire and live to fight another day, and seduce another lady.

5.0 out of 5 stars loved it, 24 Mar 2000
By A Customer
all the flashman series are great, but this one about the legendary koh-i-Noor diamond ( which is apparently cursing the royal family as we speak!) is the best, buy it

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth a read
Flashman and the Mountain of Light has plenty of intigue but, for long sections, lacks the pace and page-turning qualities of most of the other books in the series. Read more
