Synopsis
Ace of cads and unsurpassed scoundrel, Flashman is shanghaied in London and dumped on a slave ship, with an army of Amazons and then the U.S. navy in hot pursuit. Jumping ship, he becomes a slave overseer, slave runner and slave stealer. A certain "mighty fancy goddamn legal beanpole" by the name of Congressman Abraham Lincoln outwits him before he finally escapes from the slave marts of antebellum Mississippi with his very unusual Liza.
"A one-man demolition squad....As irreverent and as picaresque as Tom Jones, always more dramatic and often funnier." (Chicago Today)
Third in the Flashman series following FLASHMAN and ROYAL FLASH.

Spectacular Adventure and Historical Accuracyby Anonymous

March 20, 2001: Flashman again flies in the face of adversity, if he is not dodging his black ship Captain John Charity Spring, he is dodging Amazons or the US Navy. Historical accuracy and fine footnotes again bring added value to the Flashman collection. A book to be read by all people for many reasons, totally enjoyable, the way history should be taught.
