New Releases by George MacDonald Fraser

En esta entrega de la serie seremos testigos de cómo el pobre Flashy se ve obligado a abandonar su apacible vida londinense para luchar por el Imperio Británico (o más bien por mantener a salvo su pellejo) en la guerra de Crimea. El azar y sus intestinos traicioneros hacen que nuestro héroe desempeñe, muy a su pesar, un papel determinante en uno de los episodios más célebres de la historia militar británica.

The second title in a trilogy from the internationally bestselling author of The Flashman series. Private McAuslan continues his disorderly advance, losing, soiling or destroying his equipment. Whether map-reading his erratic way through the Sahara by night or confronting Arab rioters, McAuslan''s talent for catastrophe is constant.

Private McAuslan demonstrates his unfitness for the service in The General Danced at Dawn, the first in a trilogy that could do for the Scots what P.G. Wodehouse did for the English.

For this riotous Edwardian caper, the author of the bestselling "Flashman Papers" presents a raucous adventure that brings America''s Wild West to London''s West End and features arch-cad Harry Flashman.
