Summary

 This ninth volume of The Flashman Papers, faithfully edited and transcribed by Fraser, finds that Sir Harry Flashman is back in India, where his saga began. This time, our hero is sent by Her Majesty's Secret Service to spy on the corrupt court of Lahore, on India's Northwest Frontier. Flashy's most challenging exploit yet is as politically shrewd and thoroughly lewd as ever.©2010 Random House Audio; ©1992 George MacDonald Fraser

Critic reviews

Praise for the Flashman series
“Hilariously funny.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Great dirty fun!”—Grand Rapids Press

“The most entertaining anti-hero in a long time… Moves from one ribald and deliciously corrupt episode to the next… Wonderful and scandalous.”—Publishers Weekly

“Raises dastardliness to the level of an art… One of the most amusing and sardonic novels I have ever read!”—Omaha World

“As irreverent and picaresque as Tom Jones and always more dramatic… Flashman is a one-man demolition squad!”—Chicago Today

“Marvelously entertaining… A delight!”—Providence Journal

I have to say this reading is excellent. It may make Flashy sound a bit hateful but then again, he is! The slightly sardonic tone suits this lascivious history of empire very well.

In defence of Case!

I think that this is an excellent reading of old Flashy. Yes the drawl is at first annoying but with a little patience you realise it is very enjoyable and appropriate. Also the voicing of the other characters are excellent - the scence where Flashman enjoys the favours of the Maharani is hilarously done.

If you know and love Timothy West's readings of the Flashman books then avoid this book. The reader is completely awful and has ruined one of Flashman's best. He has a synical, hard delivery which makes Flashman seem a really hateful. Come to think of it if you haven't listened to the Timothy West's version then get it because I guarentee you'll see what I mean. TRUELY APPALLING RECORDING OF A WONDERFUL STORY

Come back Timothy West!!!!

This is one of the best Flashman books and it has been ruined by this chaps sneering down his nose in the most dreadful manner. He completely misses the point and it is unbearable.
As said in the other review Timothy West was fantastic and enhanced the Flashman stories brilliantly. If he is no longer available surely someone can do better than this....

The worst reading i have ever heard
