    by John Buchan ...

    Richard Hannay Goes to War in the East

    by John Buchan ...
    Hannay is taken out of a hospital bed in 1915 and sent east on almost nothing: a prophet is being raised in the German interest to set the Muslim world alight, and three words on a dead man's paper are all that anyone has. Buchan wrote it while running Britain's wartime propaganda and knew exactly how such a rumor would be manufactured. The journey runs from Lisbon to Erzerum, and the villain is ... Read more

  • The Watcher by the Threshold

    Something Older Than the Men on the Moors

    by John Buchan ...
    Five stories of the Scottish moors and the far places of the empire, in which something older than the men in them is still active: a remnant of the Picts in the hills, a dream of islands in the west, a devil in a Border house. Buchan wrote them before The Thirty-Nine Steps, and they are the seed of everything unsettling in his later work. The title story is his best piece of pure fear. ... Read more

    In a London gathering of veterans and politicians, Leithen begins an astonishing tale of intrigue that never leaves the city, yet quickly ranges to Russia and Central Asia.

His quiet courage and ... Read more

  • The African Colony

    Restored Classics to Go Edition

    by John Buchan ...
    South Africa emerges here as a country remade by war, its future uncertain and urgent, its old conditions overturned by peace. Rather than offer a full history, the author sets out to diagnose the colony's political, social, and economic problems with honesty, balance, and an outsider's caution, while insisting that statistics and slogans cannot explain a land shaped by landscape, character, and ...
