Description
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 bie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade? Was there, for that matter, very much difference? For one thing was certain, that Flashman would bring to his third great adventure all the qualities which had earned him fame and honour in the First Afghan War and brought him through his deadly power struggle with Bismarck: qualities like charm, cowardice, quickness of thought, treachery, lechery, and above all, fleetness of foot.ISBN:9780006176794
