FLASHMAN ON THE MARCH

Who would of guessed it? There's another Flashman novel coming! The next Instalment of the Flashman Papers is coming in April 2005, and this is a preorder for me!

In case you are not familiar with the Flashman novels, it's a series that started all the way back in the 60's by George Macdonald Fraser. It chronicles the adventure of a cad/coward/scoundrel back in the 1800's. He's also a lucky bastard who happened to survive almost every major disaster of the century: Rorke's Drift, Little Big Horn, the Indian Mutiny, Peking (twice), founght on both side of the civil war, etc.

The book is written as Flashy's own memoire, as it was recalled when he's in his twilight years. It's a very funny read, with loads of historical details and background (Mr. Fraser did hid research). One thing for this sanitized day and age though is that it's VERY un-pc, so prepare to be offended if are so inclined (Flashy is both a racist and a sexist).

For those of you wanting to start in the series, I recommend reading them in the order they were published, NOT in the narrative chronological order. The reason is that in the later works Flashy will often recall incidents that occured in previously WRITTEN volume. The first one (titled simply Flashman) is also the best in the series IMO.
