In this fifth volume of the celebrated Flashman Papers, the notorious antihero Harry Flashman is dragged into the chaos of the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Once again, the most decorated coward in the British Empire finds himself entangled in espionage, seduction, and survival, moving between disguise and danger with his trademark mix of charm and deceit. As empires tremble and loyalties crumble, Flashman witnesses — and exploits — one of the bloodiest uprisings in British colonial history.
Rich in historical detail and wickedly funny, Flashman in the Great Game blends adventure, satire, and history, painting a vivid picture of 19th-century India through the eyes of one of literature’s most unforgettable rogues.
