Summary
A master of lechery, treachery and poltroonery, Flashy's undeserved reputation for heroism renders him the British Army's candidate of choice when it comes to skulking behind enemy lines in Ali Baba attire. After all, who but the great amorist could contemplate navigating a land populated by hostile tribes and the lovliest (and most savage) women in Africa, from leather-clad nymphs with a penchant for torture to de-ballocking Amazons and a voluptuous barbarian queen with a reputation for throwing disobliging guests to her pet lions?

Excellent narration
This is my first experience with Flashman and while I found the story line not to my liking (might just be because it was an abridged version) I really enjoyed Toby Stephens narration. Very enthusiastically read and enough to convince me to try another Flashman story.

Great stuff for Flashman fans
I love George Macdonald Fraser's Flashman series. They are rollicking good reads and give a tremendously fascinating insights ito some fairly obscure corners of our history. This one - alas the last as Fraser died earlier this year(?)- is right up with the best. Terrific stuff.
I dont normally buy abridged versions but was attracted by Toby Stephens being the narrator - and he is excellent, indeed he makes the book for me, being as good as Timothy West who has been a peerless narrator in earlier books in the Flashman series.
Strongly recommended - and if you like this, read the earlier books too.

Flashy at his best again
Another good story from the flashman papers, easy to listen to and follow. Only criticism is the start is a bit abrupt but soon gets into the flow.

Why Abridged
Who was your favorite character and why?
Flashman, obviously
Have you listened to any of Toby Stephens’s other performances? How does this one compare?
He is very good
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Great Historical detail
Any additional comments?
Why have the Timothy West versions not been released in full?
Toby Stephens is very good, but the fact that these are abridged is incredibly annoying. I keep feeling that I missing out on a lot of detail and tremendous dialogue. No Explanation as to why these have been cut down in size. Doubtless related to money. The listeners have been short changed.
I would buy more Flashman with either Stephens or Rupert Penry Jones reading them. If they were unabridged.

Great book, wrong narrator
Toby Stephens tries to portray Flashie as a world-weary, rather regretful figure. Totally wrong.
