Review: In my review of Thomas Brightwell's first novel, Flashman and The Seawolf opened by saying 'Now and again you stumble over, or rather discover a gem of a book that really entertains you.' Then I read the second 'Flashman and the Cobra' and if anything that was better than the first. Dam my britches(and other Regency Phrases) if Mr Brightwell has not gone and done it again, written another fabulous book featuring the Uncle of my favourite Cad/Anti Hero Harry Flashman in the New Thomas Flashman book ' 'Flashman in the Peninsular. This finds our favourite cad up to his boots and lance in shenanigans in the Napolionic Penisular war along with Flash's co cuckolding in crime mate Wellington. The plot does not so much as thicken as set solid. It is a rattling good read and yarn as is a the literary equivalent of Crack Cocaine. I This is the third instalment in the life story of Thomas Flashman, the uncle of the notorious Victorian rogue Harry Flashman, whose memoirs have already been published, edited by George MacDonald Fraser. Thomas shares many of the family traits, particularly the ability to find himself reluctantly at the sharp end of many major events of his age. As you might expect Flashman is embroiled in treachery and scandal from the outset and, despite his very best endeavours, is often in the thick of the action. He intrigues with generals, French Marshalls on both sides of the war, spies and the chinless wonders/dunces who the British school seem to push out like a sausages from a machine gone mad. Believe me it is a toss up which of the two the sausage or the Ex Public School Office has the most brains. Now a Word of warning which I make no apology in making again. This is a far better 'take' on the Flashman style and theme than the obnoxious 'Speedicut' by Christopher Joll ( ersatz copies which I would avoid like the plague. Rather Brightwell has taken the framework of story telling from MacDonald Frasier, used a handy member of the family and set the action 30 odd years before our beloved Harry. Brightwell in effect ploughs new ground in British history rather than just 'vomit' out the same stories as the 'Speedicut' novels. I will not divulge the plot BUT the story is so good that it deserves and has a second volume set in the Penisular War. #The book is your everyday story of a cad, poltroon, seducer and chancer and there are battles, bordellos and baddies thrown in for good measure. Well done Mr Brightwell and dam if you have not gone and done it again and written a splendidly satisfying book. Bring on the next one, and the next and the... well you get the idea?
Review: 新フラシュマン・シリーズ、第３作目。舞台はイベリア半島でフランスとの苦戦を強いられる英国派遣軍。イギリスでの王室スキャンダルを逃れてスペインに渡ったフラシュマンはウェリントン率いる英国派遣軍に加わり、連絡将校としてウェリントンに近侍するが、英軍はコロンナの撤退後のパッとしない状態で、スペイン同盟軍との間もしっくりせず、フランスの大軍に押され気味である。タラベラの戦闘などの一時の勝利はあるものの、フラシュマンの諜報活動（もちろん進んでやったわけではない！）のおかげで、窮地から脱する。傑作な冒険は勿論のこと、手に汗握る戦闘の様子など読みごたえがある。英軍のマスケット銃の三段撃ち（三列で順に撃つ）など、歴史事実なども踏まえ、歴史好きには楽しめる。半島戦役は少し複雑だから、このような物語だとよく分かる。ウェリントン将軍の賭けが吉と出るか凶と出るか、4作目が楽しみだなあ！！

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Good flow to the narrative, and quite interesting integration of the Flashman character into the Spanish conflict in the early 1800's.
