5 out of 5 stars Flashman's India Adventure (part 4 of 12)   October 11, 2007
Flashman has no time to recover from his exploits in Madagascar (Flashman's Lady) and he has to say goodbye to his wife Elspeth for now.

With the British Empire at its zenith in the 1840's the geographical scope for adventures as part of the British Army are worldwide. Here Flashman is whisked off to India, and somehow volunteers for a secret service mission in the court of the beautiful nyphomaniac Maharani. Our lovable rogue, Flashman, is jumping out of one bed and into another, and out of one frying pan and into another. Will he never learn!

Pick this book up now. The fast paced action, wanton women, colourful charactors, military jingoism, and more wanton women, will ensure that you keep the pages turning. So read on and discover whether Flashman can secure the India border of the British Empire and live to fight another day, and seduce another lady.

Flashman and the Mountain of Light has plenty of intigue but, for long sections, lacks the pace and page-turning qualities of most of the other books in the series. I ended up skimming the last chapters.


5 out of 5 stars Yet another true classic   April 30, 2000

I am nearly halfway through the collection and this one based on the great battles for northern India continually matches the detailed content and fast paced humour that has become a trademark for our Great British hero Flashman and of course George MacDonald Fraser. Start with the original Flashman novel and work through them to this, you will be most amused!

all the flashman series are great, but this one about the legendary koh-i-Noor diamond ( which is apparently cursing the royal family as we speak!) is the best, buy it


5 out of 5 stars Excellent entertainment.   January 7, 2000
