Representaion Concering Books Flashman on the March (Flashman Papers #12)

It’s 1868 and Sir Harry Flashman, V.C., arch-cad, amorist, cold-headed soldier, and reluctant hero, is back! Fleeing a chain of vengeful pursuers that includes Mexican bandits, the French Foreign Legion, and the relatives of an infatuated Austrian beauty, Flashy is desperate for somewhere to take cover. So desperate, in fact, that he embarks on a perilous secret intelligence-gathering mission to help free a group of Britons being held captive by a tyrannical Abyssinian king. Along the way, of course, are nightmare castles, brigands, massacres, rebellions, orgies, and the loveliest and most lethal women in Africa, all of which will test the limits of the great bounder’s talents for knavery, amorous intrigue, and survival.

Flashman on the March—the twelfth book in George MacDonald Fraser’s ever-beloved, always scandalous Flashman Papers series--is Flashman and Fraser at their best.

Crit Out Of Books Flashman on the March (Flashman Papers #12)

Flashman is back. I mean, back in my reading list. The last but one made me think of the many things that make me like the stories very much. For all his cowardliness and faults, Flashman has such a charm to attract, it is becoming difficult to imagine that I've only one book left to read. But then such is life.In the March, as always, Flashman finds himself running from a jealous uncle who is mad at him for 'teaching' his niece the ways of the flesh, he lands in the middle of Africa with the

A fitting, if premature, end to The Flashman Papers. Abyssinia in the late 1860s, and Flash Harry once more the inside agent of the Crown, funking everything, fornicating whenever possible, and emerging triumphant in the eyes of his peers at the storys end. Great fun, if not approached from the perspective of political correctness.



Written in 2005, it is the last book of the series. I am mad at myself for not reading this series earlier. The Flashman is truly one of the great characters of literature. I can see the Flashman's influence in the works of Joe Abercrombie, whose character Jezal is a chip off the Flashy's block and Mark Lawrence's Jalan Kendeth is a direct descendent. Will there be another Flashman story ever? I hope so, after reading Jeeves and the Wedding Bells by Sebastian Faulks it is possible to add to a

It's hard to believe that the final installment of the "Flashman" series could be one of the most enjoyable, but George MacDonald Fraser clearly knew what he was doing. Like so many other reviewers, I will miss Harry P. Flashman, but everything good must come to an end. My advice to new readers is to slow down and savor these 12 books, perhaps saving each for a perfect summer or holiday read, so that you can look forward to getting together with Harry Flashman for years to come...

To the best of my knowledge, this is the publication of the last (twelfth) packet of the Flashman Papers, as George MacDonald Fraser passed away in 2008. Our favourite cad and bounder is off on a trek across Abyssinia in the late 1860s, ahead of the military rescue force led by General Robert "Bughunter Bob" Napier.

Flashman started out as a subversive, satirical figure, but over the years author Fraser evolved into an enthusiast and apologist for the British Empire. Writers are entitled to change their minds. But because Fraser makes so much of his fidelity to history, with footnotes, appendices, etc., it is important to note that he commits a manor omission in this novel to serve his political agenda. He writes in the Introduction: "For Flashman's story is about a British army sent out in a good and
