Flashman and the Dragon

Celebrated Victorian bounder cad and lecher Sir Harry Flashman V.C. returns to play his (reluctant) part in the Taiping Rebellion in the eighth volume of the critically acclaimed "Flashman Papers". Unfortunately in China in 1860 a lot of people were depending on Flashman: the English vicar's daughter with her cargo of opium; Lord Elgin; the Emperor's ravishing concubine; and Szu-Zhan the female bandit colossus as practised in the arts of love as in the art of war. They were not to know that behind his Victoria Cross Flashman was a base coward and charlatan. They took him at face value and he took them for all he could while China seethed through the bloodiest civil war in history and the British and French armies hacked their way to the heart of the Forbidden City.
