Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Browns schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all.

When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman Abraham Lincoln

In China in 1860, a lot of people mistakenly put their trust in Flashman: the English vicars daughter with her cargo of opium; Lord Elgin in search of an intelligence chief; the Emperors ravishing concubine, seeking a champion in her struggles for power; and Szu-Zhan, the female bandit colossus, as practised in the arts of love as in the arts of war.

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
