These stories continue the career of Private McAuslan, described by his platoon commander as "the biggest walking disaster to hit the British Army since Ancient Pistol", as he goes across North Africa and Scotland. George MacDonald Fraser is the author of the "Flashman" novels.
Repackaged to tie-in with hardback publication of â??The Reaversâ?? and to appeal to a new generation of George MacDonald Fraser fans, â??The Pyratesâ?? is a swashbuckling romp of a novel.
No one knew who Mark Franklin was when he disembarked at Liverpool in 1909 with a copy of Shakespeare's works, an old Mexican charro saddle and two Remingtons in his battered luggage. He was just another American, tall and softly-spoken. Even General Flashman never guessed the whole truth.
Based on the real events of the 16th century, this is a vivid picture of the brutal everyday reality of life on the Anglo-Scottish border, a place of lawlessness where raids, murder and terror were rife.

In this second volume, the arch-cad matches his wits, his talents for deceit and malice, and above all his speed in evasion against the most brilliant European statesman and against the most beautiful and unscrupulous adventuress of the era.
When Flashman was inveigled into a game of Pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future - would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade?
