In this dazzling chapter of The Flashman Papers, the infamous Harry Flashman is once again swept into the center of 19th-century imperial intrigue — this time amid the turbulent politics of India in the 1840s. Tasked with a perilous mission involving the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond, Flashman finds himself entangled in a web of espionage, betrayal, and battle as the British Empire collides with the Sikh nation. True to form, he faces danger not with valor but with cunning, charm, and shameless self-interest.
Richly detailed and irresistibly witty, Flashman and the Mountain of Light combines historical accuracy with biting satire, bringing to life one of the most colorful episodes of the Victorian era.
