Given the choice between defending Britannia’s frontier against the mighty Sikh army and pleasuring a ravishing maharani in the Court of the Punjab, Flashman knew where he’d rather be.

I like all of the books and have learned loads. Colin Mace is a fine narrator but for me it's Timothy West every time.

Fun, educational and interesting

Fun, wit, adventure, history and from a great perspective. Love Flashman, fantastic books and a great listen. Narration is absolutely perfect!

Brilliant story telling!

Colin Mace brought the story to life with his array of voices for the ensemble cast, and lends Flashy himself real emotion at times, making our (anti) hero likeable despite all his flaws.

Classic Flashy

Huzzah

Excellent voice acting, as always in this series. The story is mediocre by Flashman standards but that is more than good enough for me.

Another great Flashman entry
