The eleventh and final volume in George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman Papers series sends the infamous Harry Flashman to Abyssinia in 1868, where he becomes entangled in Britain’s campaign against Emperor Theodore II. As always, Flashman’s cowardice, charm, and opportunism lead him through a whirlwind of adventure, political intrigue, and scandal — from perilous military expeditions to dangerous romantic entanglements. Fraser’s masterful blend of meticulous historical research and razor-sharp humor delivers another vivid portrait of Victorian imperialism at its most absurd and fascinating.
