Flashman and the Mountain of Light by George Macdonald Fraser
The ninth chapter in the memoirs of Sir Harry Flashman, VC, this describes an almost forgotten imperial campaign and the freaks and perfidies in its waging. It also tells the story of a fabulous jewel and an extraordinary quartet - an Indian queen, a slave girl and two mercenary adventurers.'The Flashman Papers do what all great sagas do – winning new admirers along the way but never, ever betraying old onesIt is an immense achievement.' Sunday Telegraph
‘Not so much a march as a full-blooded charge, fortified by the usual lashings of salty sex, meticulously choreographed battle scenes and hilariously spineless acts of self preservation by Flashman.’ Sunday Times
‘Not only are the Flashman books extremely funny, but they give meticulous care to authenticity. You can, between the guffaws, learn from them.’ Washington Post
‘A first-rate historical novelist’ Kingsley Amis
