   Greenmantle was written in 1916, the true horrors of the Somme were yet to come and fully impinge on human conscience, but already the author was showing warfare to be a comfortless, bloody, business, even if he was standing the party line by having his hero say he liked soldiering right enough.

   Is Greenmantle a good book?

   • Compared to the hectic pace and implausible coincidences of The Thirty-nine Steps, Greenmantle (1916), the second volume of the Richard Hannay trilogy, is more than a Boy's Own adventure tale. Buchan, it turns out, can really write. I was entertained by his deft turns of phrase.

   Is Greenmantle a good man?

   • Yet as the book unfolds, we see Buchan being very, very careful to insist that Greenmantle himself is a good and peaceful man who will be used by evil people to seduce and corrupt Muslims. (The worst thing the villainess does is an act of violence against the prophet's followers).

Compared to the hectic pace and implausible coincidences of The Thirty-nine Steps, Greenmantle (1916), the second volume of the Richard Hannay trilogy, is more than a Boy's Own adventure tale.

   Is Greenmantle a good spy novel?

   • There are things GREENMANTLE does better than any other spy novel in the world. Indeed, while THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS is often cited as the moment when the spy novel was born, that is more of a nineteenth century romance in the vein of RL Stevenson, crossed with a cosy Scottish travelogue, that happens to include spies.

Richard Hannay in 1915 on a top mission to foil a plot to create a holy war in the Muslim world, to draw troops from the Western Front, and to help Germany win the war. Hannay must track down the mysterious prophet who holds the key to everything - Greenmantle.

   Is Greenmantle A sequel to thirty-nine steps?

   • Greenmantle follows Buchan's "Thirty-nine Steps" not as a sequel so much (imho), but rather as something along the line of the further adventures of Richard Hannay, the main protagonist and overall hero of the Thirty-nine Steps. Hannay has since been a soldier in WWI, in which he was injured at Loos.

   Greenmantle is wonderful - alternately heart warming and horrifying, portraying both the best and the worst of the human race, and managing to integrate faery tales beautifully and skillfully into the story, to make an interesting, engrossing story that is well worth the read.
