Flashman and the Angel of the Lord is the ninth instalment in George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman adventures. Flashman is portrayed as a coward, scoundrel, lover and cheat, yet also as the man you would want beside you when heading into the jungle.

This volume follows him through fearful ordeals and outlandish perils across the four corners of the world. After being caught with a wanton young wife, a hurried retreat from the boudoir might usually be enough. When her husband turns out to be a high court judge, however, Flashman decides that a change of continent is required and sets off to America again.
