Title: Yet Another entertaining Flashman adventure: 4.5 stars
Review: Yet Another Flashman adventure, this time to Abyssinia, 1868, on a British rescue/punitive mission against mad King Theodore (Toowodoros) at Magdala. Another fine outing for Flashy, and more entertaining reading for us: ". . a tawny young beauty remarking to my captors: 'If we feed him into the fire, little by little, he will speak. . . .' Aye, it's an interesting country, Abyssinia.""Sir Harry Paget Flashman isn't just another eminent Victorian; he is also the stuff of legend and truly an inspiration to us all." -- Wash Post review, above.Hard to believe Fraser been cranking these things out for almost 40 years. He's 81 now, but Flashy 'lived' to well past 90....Happy reading--Peter D. Tillman
