Title: Failed attempt to copy Flashman
Review: As other reviewers have noted, Fenwick Travers is clearly modeled on Flashman. However, he's simply not as interesting or as funny as Flashy, and the author has not done as much research as Fraser did. In this book, for instance, Travers has several close encounters with the Philippine president Emilio Aguinaldo, who fought the American army. Fraser would have closely checked the historical calendar to make sure that Aguinaldo would not, say, fight with Travers in Manila, when on that day, he was fighting a battle hundreds of miles away. That was what I loved about Fraser's books. His skill with historical interposition was shown at its best in Flashman and the Redskins.
