Description
Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown's schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents - horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, he plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all. When the mighty Sikh Khalsa army, the finest ever seen in Asia, is poised to invade India and sweep Britannia's empire into the sea, every able-bodied man is needed to defend the frontier. Flashman's answer is clear: 'I'll swim in blood first!' However, his role soon takes him into the debauched and intrigue-ridden Court of the Punjab, where he must navigate its beautiful and deadly attractions. There, he faces the horrors of secret service, torture chambers, and the baleful influence of the Mountain of Light. This is a story of military campaigns, intrigue, and personal survival, set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in 19th-century history.
