"I liked this book quite a lot. I also read about John Buchan during this time. He had an interesting life. Knowing a little about him made the book even more enjoyable."

Mr Standfast Listener Reviews

" This is one of the later books of Hannay and is the one in which he marries. "
— Mellie, 10/11/2013 -
" This third and final book more than made up for the rather tortuous second book. The last half dozen or so chapters were great, even if I did guess the ending. "
— David, 9/21/2013 -
" I thought that I was going to love this, but it didn't quite live up to expectation. They were a tad wordy bck then! "

" Fantastic fun. The best of the Hannay books so far. I have read the first three. Now on the fourth. "
— David, 3/30/2013 -
" Like all his books it was a good read. Action/early 20th Centuary "
— Joan, 1/25/2013 -
" An exciting and fast paced novel. Very much enjoyed. Certainly lived up to the legacy of the 39 Steps and Greenmantle. "
— Scott, 12/7/2012 -
" Another brilliant effort by Buchan. I am flying along with these adventures. They are so refreshing. "
— Sandra, 10/4/2012 -
" Richard Hannay's adventures continue around WWI espionage. This 3rd in the series is the best so far... "
— Dana, 7/26/2011 -
" Good book, but not exactly my cup of tea. "
— Nikki, 2/27/2011 -
" John Buchan was one of the first to write in the spy novel genre. These are old fashioned but still entertaining. "
— Heather, 1/21/2011 -
" The very best of John Buchan. "
— Steve, 9/15/2010 -
" Classic read. Despite its age, its just as thrilling today as it was nearly 100 years old. "
— Ryan, 4/27/2010 -
" I enjoyed "The Thirty-Nine Steps". "Greenmantle" felt like a bit of a chore to get into. "
— Sharil, 3/10/2010 -
" I read Greenmantle, but my edition is a really spiffy cloth cover, Stodder and Houghton, 1963, I think from Britain. "
— Jerry, 3/14/2009 -
" I've only read Thirty-Nine Steps and Greenmantle, but I know the others would be great too. "
— Kathryn, 1/15/2009 -
" Good stuff. This whole set is great. "
— Douglas, 1/12/2009 -
" Just the first few for now, but reading this on Pynchon's recommendation... <br/>The 39 Steps was great and fun, pretty interesting that it isn't anything like the film. Hitchcock had some fun with that! "
