PB 12mo NF/-- 1st Ed. 190 pages. Stated 1st American printing.

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 11th Printing. 479 Pages. Eleventh printing of the September 1983 Edition. Light staining to top of front page edges that bleed through very lightly to the 50 pages. If the American West was a place for heroes, what then was Harry Flashman doing there? Among other things, he was fleeing a murder charge, traveling with a brothel on wheels toward the California goldfields, and betraying the scarlet woman who loved him. He was tricking the noble redmen while seducing their women, studiously ignoring all calls of duty and honor as he dealt with the likes of Wild Bill Hickok, Geronimo, Kit Carson, Crazy Horse, and George Custer. He reached his moment of supreme inglory and fear under fire at the Battle of Little Big Horn. Yes, Flashman was back in the thick of things -- making the kind of history you will never learn in school. There are 21 pages of detailed notes at the end of the book.…

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. Sixrth Printing. 365 Pages. Includes 24 Pages of Detailed Notes. Sixth Printing of the April 1992 Edition. In this volume our hero has shown his a talent fully if nervously employed in the almost forgotten imperial campaign described in this volume. The shortest, bloodiest and strangest of all. Indeed it was strange, not least in its origins, and Flashman's account is a remarkable case-history of how a war can come about, and the freaks and perfidies and intrigues of its making and waging. It is also the story of a fabulous jewel, and of an extraordinary quartet - an Indian queen, a slave-girl, and two mercenary adventurers - who would be dismissed as too outlandish for fiction (although Kipling seems to have made use of one of them) if their careers were not easily verifiable from contemporary sources. This, as with previous packets of Flashman's papers entrusted to their owner, Mr Paget Morrison, whose chief concern is to satisfy himself that Flashman's narrative tallies with historic fact, so far as it can be tested. Beyond that there has been only minor occasional lapses in spelling, and supplied the usual footnotes, appendices and glossary. Jacoby, Melissa - Cover (illustratore). …

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 8th Printing. 320 Pages. Two inch surface stain at top of front page edges. Otherwise a tight book with no other marks or stamps. Once again, that supreme anti-hero of the Victorian era, the one and only Harry Fashman, is ready to rise to the occasion no matter what depths of dishonor he must plumb. Lusting after a clergyman's wife, smuggling opium to Hong Kong, coupling with an Amazonian woman river pirate, groveling before a ruthless warlord, becoming the sexual plaything of the most beautiful and evil woman in the world, and cheerfully participating in yet another British rape of an ancient culture, this is the inimitable Aashman at his very worst. And, as all Flashman fans know, that means he's at his irresistible best in this, his most exotic and erotic, uninhibited and hilarious adventure yet.…
