"Absolutely excellent. Fraser is at his best and David Case does a fine job narrating. He sounds just like an older and cynical Flashman narrating his memoirs should sound. A very enjoyable book to listen to. Has kept me awake, entertained, and alive over mile over the road."
— Mike Kundert (5 out of 5 stars)
