When the remains of the old castle bastion are being removed in Vienna in 1859, a skeleton from the French era is found in a buried passageway, puzzling the authorities. There is only one man alive who knows the secret of the unknown corpse, and he has every reason to remain silent: Alois Strasser, former commissioner in the state police office. In 1809, he is tasked with protecting Napoleon Bonaparte from assassination attempts during his stay in French-occupied Vienna. In the process, Strasser becomes embroiled in an intrigue that he only fully understands decades later.

The British campaign in Abyssinia is probably one of the most unusual in military history. The cause was that the Abyssinian King Theodore II felt insulted because a letter from him to Queen Victoria went unanswered. As a result, he took European hostages. The British equipped an unheard-of punitive expedition: 12000 men and 30000 beasts of burden were landed at Zulla on the Red Sea and Harry Flashman played an unwanted but important role. "Flashman's Campaign" is the 11th and final novel written by George MacDonald Fraser.

The signs are mounting, but no one is really expecting it: The Great Indian Insurrection, also called the Sepoy War, breaks out in 1857. Harry Flashman is a political agent, a role that actually suits him well because it seems harmless and there are no results to show for it. But as usual he miscalculates and he gets caught in the focal points of the uprising. He meets and falls in love with the beautiful Rani Lakschmibai, he is present at the Kanpur massacre and meets his friend Ilderim, the Pashtun. Exciting, varied and full of historical details, politically incorrect as usual and with a lot of humour.
