Product Description

Review

'Thanks to Fraser's passion for history, his rare gift for rattling narrative and his infectious delight in robust, rollicking language, we can rejoice in a work of genius worthy of being ranked with -- there can be no higher accolade -- P.G. Wodehouse' Daily Telegraph 'Farcically outrageous and disgracefully entertaining' Sunday Times


Product Description

Celebrated Victorian bounder, cad, and lecher, Sir Harry Flashman, V.C., returns to play his (reluctant) part in the charge of the Light Brigade in the fourth volume of the critically acclaimed "Flashman Papers". As the British cavalry prepared to launch themselves against the Russian guns at Balaclava, Harry Flashman was petrified. But the Crimea was only the beginning: beyond lay the snowbound wastes of the great Russian slave empire, torture and death, headlong escapes from relentless enemies, savage tribal hordes to the right of him, passionate females to the left of him! And finally that unknown but desperate war on the roof of the world, when India was the 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
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)   
This review is from: Flashman at the Charge (Paperback)
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
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!
