"A one-man demolition squad....As irreverent and as picaresque as Tom Jones, always more dramatic and often funnier." (Chicago Today)

Flashman is shanghaied in London and dumped on a slave ship, with an army of Amazons and then the U.S. navy in hot pursuit. Jumping ship, he becomes a slave overseer, slave runner and slave stealer. A certain "mighty fancy goddamn legal beanpole" by the name of Congressman Abraham Lincoln outwits him before he finally escapes from the slave marts of antebellum Mississippi with his very unusual Liza.
