Be seeing you.
I remember reading one of these years ago, part of my friend's dad's collection of a shitton of gung-ho Mack Able Force books that I raided as often as possible. All I remember is a neat scene where he's thrown overboard from some galley after it's captured by pirates and him bitching about how terrible it was to have your lungs continually fill and your eardrums continually burst from the pressure of being at the bottom of the Mediterranean for years at a time, and having to wander at the bottom of it in the dark for however many years it took to eventually find his way to shore. I think the same one had him working hard labour in some Roman mine, until someone finally asks him when he was sentenced and it turns out it's been the lifetime of several emperors.

So the time aspect was fun, but the rest probably sucked.

How do these books rate when compared to the Flashman books? Because those are cool as heck.

It's been a long time, but IIRC nowhere remotely near as cool as the Flashman books.
