Flashman's Lady (The Flashman papers) Book

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 Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century despite trying his utmost to escape them all. When our hero Flashman accepts an invitation from his old enemy Tom Brown of Rugby to join in a friendly cricket match he does not suspect that he is letting himself in for the most desperate game of his scandalous career. What follows is a deadly struggle that sees him scampering from the hallowed wicket of Lord's to the jungle lairs of Borneo pirates; from a Newgate hanging to the torture pits of Madagascar and from Chinatown's vice dens to slavery in the palace of 'the female Caligula' herself Queen Ranavalona of Madagascar. Had he known what lay ahead Flashman would never have taken up cricket seriously.
