About this book

Richard Hannay is pulled out of the trenches and handed a secret mission: to run down a rumour that Germany is fanning a holy war across the Muslim world to break the Allied lines. With his friends Sandy Arbuthnot, the American schemer Blenkiron, and the Boer hunter Peter Pienaar, he crosses wartime Europe in disguise, chasing fragments of a code toward Constantinople and the besieged fortress of Erzerum. John Buchan's 1916 sequel to The Thirty-Nine Steps pits Hannay against the ruthless Colonel von Stumm and the formidable Hilda von Einem. It is a brisk, atmospheric spy adventure built on the real anxieties of the First World War.
