Greenmantle ([New ed.])

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 Messlah.

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.
