In this installment Flashman works as a crewmember on a slave ship traveling from Europe to Africa and then on to New Orleans, where he ends up working for the underground railroad assisting runaway slaves to escape to the north. Of course, his participation in both these occupations is involuntary and since they both involve personal danger he isn't well pleased with either of them. Flash for Freedom" is the most outrageous novel I've ever read. It is dynamite - indeed, if you submitted this today to any New York publisher they would treat it like dynamite and probably call the authorities. At a minimum, you would be cancelled. Not that Flashman is subject to the morals of normal men... he manages to find his way on the ship, and shows he is still all about looking after himself. Looney - A servant aboard the Balliol College and a friend of Sullivan. Flashman convinces him to shoot Spring after he shoots Sullivan.

In a previous interview, you mentioned that you secretly watched South Korean television programs. How would a program like Flash Drives for Freedom help and impact the lives of the North Korean people?Another scene that stood out was when Cassy, the light-skinned slave with whom he had fled the Mississippi River Valley aboard a steamboat, says good-bye to Flashman in Ohio before departing for Canada: I'm not doing a PhD in postcolonial literature, thank God, but if I was I'd be tempted to put a chapter on The Flashman Papers in my dissertation. And in that chapter, I might argue that they are some of the most withering critiques of colonial attitudes and policies written by a white author in fiction. They appear, on the surface, to be pure escapism, but if you keep your wits about you, you'll find there's much more at work.

given the treatment he received at his hands. Yet his full story would surely be a fascinating one. Captain John Charity Spring M.A. - The formidable and eccentric captain of the Balliol College, a slave ship owned in part by Morrison. He continually utters Latin phrases (conveniently translated by Fraser). Spring reappears in Flashman and the Redskins and finally as a wealthy Cape Colony landowner in Flashman and the Angel of the Lord, where he settles his outstanding grievances against Flashman by having the latter kidnapped. Spring is referred to as having "long gone to his account" in Flashman and the Tiger, having been murdered by Sebastian Moran. But there are two humorous scenes that truly stood out for me. One involved Flashman’s description of Captain Spring and his wife: An omnibus volume of three Fraser's adventure stories about his hero Flashman. Written with accuracy of historical facts and reflecting the culture of the times could be considered a very politically incorrect in the twenty first century. Despite all this, Flashman appears to be very likeable, considered by many a great hero while being a self-confessed coward and womaniser.The AudioDVD format is not the same as traditional CDs and does not work on CD players.
