"Mr Steadfast" continues the adventures of Richard Hannay, whose
earlier exploits are recounted in "The Thirty-Nine Steps" and
"Greenmantle."
John Buchan's 100 works include nearly thirty novels and seven
collections of short stories, as well as biographies of Sir Walter
Scott, Caesar Augustus, and Oliver Cromwell. Buchan was awarded the
James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his biography of James Graham,
Marquess of Montrose, but the most famous of his books were the spy
thrillers, and it is probably for these that he is now best
remembered.
Recently returned from South Africa, adventurer Richard Hannay is
bored with life, but after a chance encounter with an American who
informs him of an assassination plot and is then promptly murdered
in Hannay's London flat, he becomes the obvious suspect and is
forced to go on the run. He heads north to his native Scotland,
fleeing the police and his enemies. Hannay must keep his wits about
him if he is to warn the government before all is too late.
With an introduction by Christopher Hitchens. Richard Hannay is
tasked to investigate rumours of an uprising in the Muslim world
and takes off on a hair-raising journey through German-occupied
Europe to meet up with his old friend Sandy Arbuthnot in
Constantinople, where they must thwart the Germans' plans to use
religion to help them win the war. Set during World War I,
Greenmantle is a controversial meditation on the power of political
Islam.

John Buchan's thrilling tale of an innocent man caught up in a web
of spies, lies and murder. Can Richard Hannay save himself by
solving the mystery of the 39 Steps? Classics Illustrated tells
this wonderful tale in colourful comic strip form, offering an
excellent introduction for younger readers. This edition also
includes a biography of John Buchan, theme discussions and study
questions, which can be used both in the classroom or at home to
further engage the reader in the work at hand.
What begins as a straightforward holiday weekend for Sir Edward
Leithen in a splendid stately home in the Cotswolds soon turns into
something altogether different when one of Lady Flambard's other
guests, the enigmatic Professor Moe, enlists the help of Leithen
and his companions in a bizarre experiment to glimpse the future.
For those who take part, the consequences are dramatic and
Leithen's formidable powers of reasoning are brought to the fore.
Introduced by Hew Strachan, "Mr Standfast" is the third of five
Richard Hannay thrillers. Recalled from active service on the
Western Front, Richard Hannay is sent undercover on a crucial
secret mission to find a dangerous German agent at large in
Britain. Disguised as a pacifist, Hannay travels from London to
Glasgow to the Scottish Highlands and Islands in his search, which
eventually ends in a spectacular climax above the battlefields of
Europe. John Buchan's inside knowledge of trench warfare and
government intelligence lend a formidable realism to this
superlative spy story. This is a nail-biting classic from a master
storyteller.
Young Englishwoman Kore Arabin has inherited a remote Greek island
from her father. The superstitious islanders blame Kore for every
mishap and natural disaster. Sir Edward Leithen and Vernon Milburne
must save her before the islanders sacrifice her as a witch in the
sacred ground called The Dancing Floor.
The Jacobite army marches into England and Alistair Maclean, close
confident of Charles Edward Stewart embarks on a secret mission to
raise support for the cause in the west. He soon begins to suspect
someone close to the Prince is passing information to the
Government, but just as he closes in on the traitor his own life is
put in danger. Who is the turncoat and can Maclean save his own
life and his Prince?

He told me some queer things that explained a lot that had puzzled
me - things that happened in the Balkan War, how one state suddenly
came out on top, why alliances were made and broken, why certain
men disappeared, and where the sinews of war came from.
In 1925, John Buchan published his second most famous novel, John
Macnab; three high-flying men – a barrister, a cabinet minister
and a banker – are suffering from boredom. They concoct a plan to
cure it. They inform three Scottish estates that they will poach
from each two stags and a salmon in a given time. They sign
collectively as ‘John Macnab’ and await the responses. This
novel is a light interlude within the Leithen Stories series – an
evocative look at the hunting, shooting and fishing lifestyle in
Highland Scotland. With an introduction by Andrew Greig. This
edition is authorised by the John Buchan Society.
