A game of cards leads Flashman from the jungle death-house of Dahomey to the slave state of Mississippi as he dabbles in the slave trade in Volume III of the Flashman Papers. When Flashman was inveigled into a game of pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future - would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade? Was there, for that matter, very much difference? Once again Flashman's charm, cowardice, treachery, lechery and fleetness of foot see the lovable rogue triumph by the skin of his chattering teeth.

“Great dirty fun!”—Grand Rapids Press

“The most entertaining anti-hero in a long time… Moves from one ribald and deliciously corrupt episode to the next… Wonderful and scandalous.”—Publishers Weekly

“Raises dastardliness to the level of an art… One of the most amusing and sardonic novels I have ever read!”—Omaha World

“As irreverent and picaresque as Tom Jones and always more dramatic… Flashman is a one-man demolition squad!”—Chicago Today

“Marvelously entertaining… A delight!”—Providence Journal

Timothy West and Colin Mace are far better Flashmans. This narrator makes Flashy sound like a pretentious schoolteacher.

… Most importantly, unvarnished truth telling without the poisonous veneer of political correctness, virtue signaling or revisionist claptrap sanitized for the tender of feeling and liberal race-baiters. The writing is excellent, the wit and presentation unexcelled. No one is spared Frasers wicked pan… Not Lincoln, not the abolitionists, not the slaves nor the slave traders. I love the Flashman series… And only dread it’s eventual conclusion

Brilliant satire, great history and…
