Have you ever thought of real-life heroes who are able to bounce back from setbacks and challenges while other people crumble against life’s setbacks? It is because of resilience. Resilience is essential because it allows you to face adversity with a positive mindset, learn from your experiences, and grow stronger.
‘Flashman Rides Again (1966 – 1978)’ by Charles Pack is a story of such resilience. Despite facing challenging circumstances throughout his life, from his school days to his military service, Roly Flashman, grandson of the infamous Sir Harry Paget Flashman VC, KCB, KCIE, perseveres and always fights for what is right.
Commencing with UDI in Rhodesia, facing a hostile enemy, and the threat of sanctions, this book covers Roly’s experiences with war in Cyprus, his joy as a military helicopter pilot and the loves of his life.
Roly’s story is revealed by the vivid dreams that he experiences as a resident in the comfortable apartment in which he lives at Westridge Retirement Village. These dreams shed detailed and earthy light on life as a soldier in Belfast during the Troubles as he relives intense operations in the Ardoyne alongside his unpleasant batman, Private Brakspear. After finding himself in danger of being blamed for a superior officer’s incompetence and threatened by a Court Martial, Roly moves to the city.
In London, he unknowingly undergoes a test of his aptitude for the British Secret Services but, with the threat of prosecution lifted, Roly is able to indulge in his passion for flying helicopters and the hair raising escapades that he experiences as a military pilot.
Throughout his journey, his youthful interactions with other residents and staff at Westridge, provide a constant and amusing thread throughout the story. But the reappearance of his former batman in the 11th Hussars, the evil Brakspear, and hell bent on revenge, awakens Roly to the depth of Brakspear’s hatred for him, thereby providing a fitting finale to this engaging tale of a scion of the Flashman dynasty.
‘Flashman Rides Again (1966 – 1978)’ is a well-researched and unique story that keeps the reader glued to the end and thirsting for the next chapters in Roly’s life.
Indeed, what next for Roly? American hostages in Iran, tangling with the Mafia in the streets of San Francisco, undercover in Moscow and insurance fraud on the high seas. These tales carry Roly through the next 10 years of his life. Will he ever become an MP and achieve greater success?
