A
ridiculously fun read from the inventive author of the Flashman series. Sadly, this is
the last of Fraser's tales; he died in 2008. But this is a great last work,
fittingly manic and wacky in the one-of-a-kind Fraser style, full of
witchcraft, nubile maidens and confused but handsome heroes, evil fiendish bad
guys, and a lot of eye of newt. All set in the 17th century in the
Scottish border country where lawlessness was a given, and might was the only
right. It's a big, disorderly, laugh-a-page 4.
