Greenmantle

Greenmantle is a tale of intrigue and adventure set during the First World War. It features Richard Hannay, hero of the author's earlier novel The Thirty-Nine Steps. As he travels through Europe to foil a German plot and find an Islamic Messiah, he is joined by three more of Buchan's heroes: Peter Pienaar, a Boer scout; John Blenkiron, an American determined to fight the Kaiser; and Sandy Arbuthnot (Greenmantle), modeled on Lawrence of Arabia. The intrepid friends move in disguise through Germany to Constantinople to the Russian border to confront their enemies-the grotesque Stumm and the evil beauty Hilda von Einem. I had just finished breakfast and was filling my pipe when I got Bullivant's telegram. Itwas at Furling, the big country house in Hampshire where I had come to convalesceafter Loos, and Sandy, who was in the same case, was hunting for the marmalade. Iflung him the flimsy with the blue strip pasted down on it, and he whistled.
