<5 This is the third of Buchan's Richard Hannay novels, following The
o Thirty-nine Steps and Greenmantle. Set, like Greenmantle, durinig
GO World War I, it deals Brigadier-General Hannay's recall from the
c Western Front, to engage in espionage, and forced (much to his
O chagrin) to pose as a pacifist. He becomes a South African
conscientious objector, using the name Cornelius Brand. Under the
orders of his spymaster, Sir Walter Bullivant, he travels in the book
through England to Scotland, back to the Western Front, and
ultimately, for the book's denouement, into the Alps. Those who
know Greenmantle will meet some old friends again here, including
Bullivant, the American John Blenkiron, the South African Peter
Pienaar and others.
