Praise for The Reavers:
‘Wonderfully silly’ The Times
‘Irresistible.’
Saga
‘...emphatically superior nonsense.’ Sunday Telegraph
‘This is a showcase for Fraser’s undiminished skill.’
Telegraph
Praise for Flashman on the March:
'There is a little of Flashman in all of us – but not enough.' Evening Standard
'The Flashman Papers do what all great sagas do – winning new admirers along the way but never, ever betraying old ones. It is an immense achievement.' Sunday Telegraph
'In our crass, humourless, anaemic, politically correct age, there could be no better tonic or treat than the outrageous Flashy's bold descriptions of action in battle or bedroom. To relish George MacDonald Fraser is to rediscover the joy of reading.' Daily Telegraph
‘Everything we expect from a Flashman adventure is here: lechery, double-crossing, real people, the epic poltroonery from which Flashman emerges as saviour of the hour...my one complaint about the series – surely the great mock-historical romp of the past half-century – is that MacDonald Fraser does not add to it often enough.' Mail on Sunday

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First U.S. Edition. Elizabethan England, and a dastardly Spanish plot to take over the throne is uncovered. It's up to Agent Archie Noble to save Queen and country in this saucy and swashbuckling romp from the bestselling author of THE FLASHMAN PAPERSNand THE PYRATES. Spoiled, arrogant, filthy rich, and breathtakingly beautiful, the young Lady Godiva Dacre is exiled from the court of Good Queen Bess (who can't abide red-haired competition) to her lonely estate in distant Cumberland, where she looks forward to bullying the peasantry and getting her own imperious way. Little does she guess that the turbulent Scottish border is the last place for an Elizabethan heiress, beset by ruthless reivers (many of them unshaven), blackmailing ruffians, fiendish Spanish plotters intent on regime change and turning Merrie England into a ghastly European Union province. And no one to rely on but her half-witted blonde school chum, a rugged English superman with a knack for disaster, and a dashing highwayman who looks like Errol Flynn but has a Glasgow accent.To say nothing of warlocks, impersonators, taxi-drivers riding brooms, burlesque artists, the drunkest man in Scotland, and several quite normal characters. In addition to the twelve volumes of the FLASHMAN PAPERS (among other novels, story collections and non-fiction writings), the author's notable screenplays include those for Richard Lester's 'The Three Musketeer,' 'The Four Musketeers' and the James Bond film, 'Octopussy.' New, unread copy, in new, mylar-protected dust jacket. L75. Seller Inventory # 19226
