Greenmantle by John Buchan
Written in 1916, GREENMANTLE is a classic tale of espionage and adventure. Richard Hannay, hero of THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS, travels across war-torn Europe on the trail of a German plot and an Islamic Messiah. He is joined by three more of Buchan's heroes: Peter Pienaar, the old Boer scout; John S. Blenkiron, the American determined to fight the Kaiser; and Sandy Arbuthnot--Greenmantle himself--a character modelled on Lawrence of Arabia. Together they move in disguise through Germany to Constantinople and the Russian border in order to face their enemies: the grotesque Stumm and the evil femme fatale Hilda von Einem.
John Buchan (1878-1940) was an Imperial statesman, MP, Barrister, publisher and soldier as well as being the inventor do the secret agent Richard Hannay who features most famously in THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS and GREENMANTLE.
