 Amazon.com: Books: Flashman's Lady (Flashman)
Flashman of Flashman's Lady is a great place to begin the Flashman tour of the British Army during the 19th Century, the roll on the floor laughter of Frazer's characterization, the relatively accurate history that goes with this historical fiction.
In FLASHMAN'S LADY, the reader is apprised of the private war against the pirates of the East Indies by the eccentric English imperialist, James Brooke, and the reign of terror perpetuated by that female Caligula of the period, Queen Ranavalona I of Madagascar.
Flashman must fight, however unwillingly, to get her back - until they both end up in the hands of the bloodthirsty queen of Madagascar, Ranavalona I. This is a fine entry in the series, possibly a little more heavy on the humor this time around than the adventure.

 Flashman's Ladies
Obviously, Elspeth is a main character in all the Flashman books, but she comes to her own as the title character in Flashman's Lady.
Flashman says on several occasions that Miss Susie had 20 women working for her when she and "Beachy" took the road west from New Orleans to Santa Fe.
The Flashman books are masterful in providing insight into the life and times of Victorian England and the major military events (and occasional disasters) of the mid-to-late 19th Century.

 Review - Black Ajax
Flashman fans will be delighted to know that "Mad Buck" has some choice details to add to the Flashman saga - including the answer to the great mystery of how he happened to marry the high-born Lady Alicia Paget.
No, this isn’t a new Flashman novel but it’s the next best thing: Flashmans father, Captain Buckley Flashman, is a supporting character in this startlingly vivid "Regency" novel, and nearly steals the show from the protagonist (whom we’ll get to in a moment!).
Indeed, Flashman devotees will readily see where Colonel Sir Harry Flashman inherited many of his - er - talents.
