  <description><![CDATA[A game of cards leads Flashman from the jungle death-house of Dahomey to the slave state of Mississippi as he dabbles in the slave trade in Volume III of the <em>Flashman Papers</em>. When Flashman was inveigled into a game of pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future - would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade?

Once again Flashman's charm, cowardice, treachery, lechery and fleetness of foot see the lovable rogue triumph by the skin of his chattering teeth.]]></description>

I am a huge fan of all Flashman's adventures yet I found this one to be  less enjoyable than most; somehow it lacks grandeur and a sense of adventure.

    <body><![CDATA[Simply hilarious series of books about a cowardly, selfish anti-hero who stumbles into some of the biggest historical events of the 19th century and comes out smelling like roses, and adored by almost all.

    <![CDATA[A game of cards leads Flashman from the jungle death-house of Dahomey to the slave state of Mississippi as he dabbles in the slave trade in Volume III of the <em>Flashman Papers</em>. When Flashman was inveigled into a game of pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future - would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade? Was there, for that matter, very much difference? Once again Flashman's charm, cowardice, treachery, lechery and fleetness of foot see the lovable rogue triumph by the skin of his chattering teeth.]]>

    <![CDATA[When a dirty-dealing card game forces Flashy to flee London, he lands on a boat bound for America, only to discover that it is really a slave ship headed for Africa, and then New Orleans. Before this American odyssey ends, our man Flash will meet up with an interesting cast of characters, including an African king, a hothouse madam who can make magnolias bloom, and a certain young Mr. Lincoln.]]>
