«Flashman and the Mountain of Light» is the historical adventure novel by George MacDonald Fraser published by HarperCollins in paperback, in English.
Sir Harry Flashman tries to dodge the defence of the Indian frontier against the advancing Sikh army and ends up on a secret mission at the court of the Punjab. There, a legendary jewel and an unusual quartet —an Indian queen, a slave girl and two mercenaries— drag him into a chain of intrigues and dangers.
Ninth volume of the Flashman Papers series, set during the 1845-1846 campaign. The plot revolves around the Koh-i-Noor diamond, the Mountain of Light.
For readers of historical and adventure fiction with a military backdrop and a far-from-heroic protagonist.
