Flashman And the Angel of the Lord: From the Flashman Papers, 1858-59 by George

Description: Flashman And the Angel of the Lord by George MacDonald Fraser Captain Harry Flashmans covert missions for Her Majestys Secret Service have taken him all over the globe--Afghanistan, Borneo, Madagascar, Indian and China--but never before has he encountered so formidable a challenge and attempted to rise to it with such hilarious ineptitude as in his latest adventure. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "A jolly read."—The Wall Street JournalThe tenth installment in The Flashman Papers finds Captain Harry Flashman of Her Majestys Secret Service in the antebellum South, where the irrepressible, globe-trotting Victorian becomes the target of blackmailing beauties. Evading danger, bedding women, and profiting from every opportunity, Flashman once again weasels his way into history, this time in John Browns raid of Harpers Ferry, just before the Civil War. As a result of Flashys letching, lying, cheating, and stealing on land, on sea, and on the rails, not only did John Brown become a martyr, Lincoln became president, and the nation plunged into a bloodbath.
