Description
Unfortunately in China in 1860 a lot of people were depending on Flashman: the vicar's daughter with her cargo of opium; Lord Elgin; the Emperor's concubine; and Szu-Zhan, the female bandit colossus, as practised in the arts of love as in the art of war. They were not to know that behind his Victoria Cross, Flashman was a coward and charlatan.
