Flashman in the Great Game

George MacDonald Fraser

Flashy's back in his raunchiest romp yet. Victiorian England's most notorious swashbuckling student is wrenched from his typical, pleasurable contemplation of indecent intentions and thrust headfirst into the middle of an Indian mutiny as a secret agent extraordinaire. Pity the insatiable Flash as he bumbles, cowers, and sidesteps his way around Russian spies, thug stranglers, and rampaging hordes of Sepoy mutineers only to meet his match in the voluptuous Princess Lakshmibai, the Imperial Jezebel of Jhansi, with an amorous appetite even more voracious than his own. Never has Flashman been forced to rise to so great a challenge - again and again and again...
