Flashman In The Great Game

WHAT CAUSED THE INDIAN MUTINY? THE GREASED CARTRIDGE, RELIGIOUS FANATICISM, POLITICAL BLUNDERING, YES - BUT ONE HITHERTO UNSUSPECTED FACTOR IS NOW REVEALED IN THE FURTIVE FIGURE WHICH FLED ACROSS THE INDIAN SCENE IN 1857 WITH SUCH FRANTIC HASTE: FLASHMAN. PLUMBING NEW DEPTHS OF ANXIOUS KNAVERY IN HIS ROLE AS SECRET AGENT EXTRAORDINARY, FLASHMAN SAW FAR MORE OF THE GREAT MUTINY THAN HE WANTED TO. HOW HE SURVIVED HIS ADVENTURES IN THE INEVITABLE FLIGHTS FROM THUGS AND TSARISTS AGENTS, EASTERN BEAUTIES AND CABINET MINISTERS AND KEPT HIS SKIN INTACT IS A MYSTERY AS REMARKABLE AS THE FLASHMAN PAPERS THEMSELVES. THEIR LATEST CHAPTER SEES HIM PASSING THROUGH HIS MOST HARROWING ORDEAL TO HIS SUPREME TRIUMPH, WITH COURAGE, DUTY AND HONOUR TOILING DISPIRITEDLY IN HIS WAKE.
