About this listen
New improved recording uploaded April 2020
Following the popularity of the memoirs of Harry Flashman, the Victorian scoundrel who got himself embroiled in many events of his age, this book introduces a new generation of the family: Thomas Flashman, whose career covers the Napoleonic and Georgian era.
This first book covers his adventures with Thomas Cochrane, one of the most extraordinary naval commanders of all time. From the brothels and gambling dens of London, through political intrigues and espionage, the action moves to the Mediterranean and the real life character of Thomas Cochrane.
This book covers the start of Cochrane's career including the most astounding single ship action of the Napoleonic war. Thomas Flashman provides a unique insight as danger stalks him like a persistent bailiff through a series of adventures that prove history really is stranger than fiction.
This is the first in a series of books stretching from 1800 to the late 1830’s, all firmly based on historical fact and often less well known but extraordinary characters and events.

Ahoy me hearties - enjoy the great adventure...
In the style of George Macdonald Fraser we get to enjoy the stories of Harry Flashman's Uncle Thomas Flashman. With similar historical accuracies one would expect of the Flashman Papers, this is the first of a series or ripping yarns estoling the adventures of young Thomas. A good fun read, well performed and most enjoyable, so much so that I'm off to purchase the next of the series.

I loved this yarn. Gripping and Tue!!
I started off thinking that it was likely to be a bit dry. I’d actually been looking for the new Stockwyn novel as I love a ripping yarn. I’m so glad I gave it a chance. What an amazing adventure, hard to credit the authenticity, but not only is it true, it helps historians fill in missing gaps from Admiralty records. I’m already hooked into the series.

A bit bland
Lacks the sharp witty colourful language and quality story telling that’s so evident in the Harry Flashman books written by Sir George McDonald Fraser.
