John Buchan is the father of the modern spy thriller. This is so even though the Hannay books are not, strictly speaking, about spies at all in the professional sense of the word. They are about penetration of the enemy, about lonely escape and wild journeys, about the thin veneer that stands between civilsation and barbarism.

This special collection gathers together author John Buchan’s five novels featuring the indomitable secret agent, Richard Hannay. In The Thirty-Nine Steps, Hannay is hoping to start a new life in London even as the world is on the cusp of war in 1914, but he is soon pulled into a startling series of events when an informant tells him about an assassination plot and plans to steal Britain’s military strategies. Hannay’s adventures continue in Buchan’s four follow up novels, Greenmantle, Mr. Standfast, The Three Hostages, and The Island of Sheep. The adventures of Richard Hannay are regarded as the starting point for espionage fiction and established author John Buchan as the original thriller writer. Buchan’s stories inspired many others novelists and filmmakers including Alfred Hitchcock who directed the first of four film adaptations of The Thirty Nine Steps.
