Flashman by George MacDonald FraserRead about the other entries on Mullan's list.
The pleasure-seeking life of this 19th-century rogue begins in Canterbury. Expelled from Rugby, he thinks to join the army, while wishing to avoid any risk of combat. He chooses the 11th Light Dragoons, who "were at Canterbury, after long service in India, and were unlikely ... to be posted abroad". He makes the most of Canterbury society before a duel and a quarrel over a woman send him to less comfortable climes.
--Marshal Zeringue
