Description

Thomas Flashman's seventh memoir reveals that middle age has done little to temper his roguish ways. Despite his experiences in the Napoleonic Wars, he finds himself drawn back into adventure when old friends persuade him to join his former comrade Thomas Cochrane on a sojourn in South America. Instead of the peaceful retreat they had planned, Flashman soon becomes embroiled in a series of extraordinary events, including drug-fuelled orgies, silver smuggling, and narrow escapes from earthquakes. With Cochrane's courage and Flashman's cunning, they carve out an empire that will stand the test of time. As they navigate this remarkable period in their careers, Flashman and Cochrane must rely on each other's strengths to overcome the challenges they face, with a crew more interested in fighting each other than the enemy.
