About this listen

Coward, scoundrel, lover and cheat, but there is no better man to go into the jungle with. Join Flashman in his adventures as he survives fearful ordeals and outlandish perils across the four corners of the world.

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. Of course, that was before he found out about the torture chambers or the malevolent influence of the Mountain of Light…

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

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

I read and loved all the Flashman books many years ago when they were new. Now reduced to audible, I wondered if I might still enjoy these books and just to be difficult, I started with number 4 on special offer. It seems even better now than I remember it. The writing is superb, with a huge wealth of accurate background in spite of being a fiction. This is very much the truth of events at that time. What is more, the narration Colin Mace is as amazing as the writing. This narrator helps bring the book to life, he reads it so well, and his accurate and beamingly friendly accents of many kinds are fabulous. I think I enjoyed listening to this beautiful book now even more than when I read it years ago. It buzzes alive and includes you in the adventure..

Such an exceptional read
