Frequently asked questions

  • Is The Pyrates connected to George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series?

    While The Pyrates shares the same author and a similar historical adventure spirit, it is a standalone novel and does not feature Harry Flashman or any characters from that series. It can be read independently without any prior knowledge of Fraser's other works.
