In 1860, China is on the verge of a bloody convulsion. The British Empire decides to intervene to try to control the tense political situation, but it arrives too late. The interests of the French, the authorities, the Taiping rebels and the British Crown come into conflict, generating expectations of lucrative business. Flashman, as always, will benefit from this chaotic situation, trying to get the best possible slice without the authorities noticing his existence. This novel closes, for the moment, the series dedicated to this antihero.
