Publisher's Summary

New improved recording uploaded April 2020

Following the popularity of the memoirs of Harry Flashman, the Victorian scoundrel who got himself embroiled in many events of his age, this book introduces a new generation of the family: Thomas Flashman, whose career covers the Napoleonic and Georgian era.

This first book covers his adventures with Thomas Cochrane, one of the most extraordinary naval commanders of all time. From the brothels and gambling dens of London, through political intrigues and espionage, the action moves to the Mediterranean and the real life character of Thomas Cochrane.

This book covers the start of Cochrane's career including the most astounding single ship action of the Napoleonic war. Thomas Flashman provides a unique insight as danger stalks him like a persistent bailiff through a series of adventures that prove history really is stranger than fiction.

This is the first in a series of books stretching from 1800 to the late 1830’s, all firmly based on historical fact and often less well known but extraordinary characters and events.

Not Flashy

I downloaded this by mistake. The author lacks the ability and originality of George Macdonald Fraser to make Flashman a cowardly but likeable rogue in a historical action setting.

FLASHMAN PURISTS, This is pretty good!

I grew up on George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman. I accidentally downloaded this NON-GMF book. Disappointed that this "copycat" could not be as good, I eventually listened to it. I was pleasantly surprised. Actually, chagrined at myself that I had avoided this non-GMF author for so long. The stories (as I have now read or listened to others) show a subtler (&, to my {old soldier's mind} and more identifiable character with all the historically accurate interweaving of the original Flash.
